China Suppliers Factory ROP Enhancer UBDrill-144 EBL: Biodegradable Ester-Based Lubricant for Improved Penetration Rate
What we need to formulate your ROP enhancer?
1. Fluid Formulations/Drilling Mud System
Fluid formulations? Water-based? Oil-based? (To confirm the following: water-soluble/oil-soluble, SG/viscosity — high-density drilling fluids require high viscosity to match flowability and sand-carrying capacity — and whether there are any incompatible materials to prevent foiling/emulsification), along with information such as fresh/salty water, pH value, high calcium/magnesium concentration, etc.
2. Operation Conditions
Temperature/pressure? Is high-temperature stability required? For example, at what temperature, with how much additive, and over what period of time is a specific reduction in torque expected?
3. Technical Requirements
High-salinity environments? High-salinity environments may cause salting-out, demulsification, or competitive adsorption effects, which can impact the rheology and filtration properties of the drilling fluid. Therefore, ROP enhancers generally contain functional groups capable of forming strong chemical adsorption or coordination bonds with metal surfaces.
4. Test Method
Standardized testing methods to verify the torque reduction, thermal stability, and overall performance compatibility with your mud system.
Pilot Testing Is Recommended.
Product Introduction
UBDrill-144 EBL is a naturally-occurring, ester-based lubricant derived from natural fats and oils.
It is non-toxic to humans or the surrounding environment.
This product has a small impact on the rheological properties of drilling fluid, and property of environmentally friendly performance.

This drilling Mud Lubricant has been Ordered by Aramco. Proven to be the alternative for Radiagreen EBL. It has passed the ASTM standard. Aim to Increases ROP and Reduces torque and drag, but as the Downhole conditions varies, we suggest you contact YouzhuCHEM to get technical support and guidance to ensure a best result from our ROP enhancers. For more and MSDS documents, send us message please.
Applications/Functions
Key Application Areas:
Shale drilling
Offshore and onshore
Advantages
Reduces torque and drag issues by providing lubricity to water-based drilling operations without compromising or damaging production zones.
Readily dispersible in any water-based drilling fluid.
Proven results in reducing friction factors while drilling open hole.
Helps to prevent bit-balling and differentially stuck pipe; will have no negative effects on the fluid rheology or filtration properties.
In most cases, will improve the overall API and HTHP fluid loss behaviors of the fluid.
Avoid use in high pH environments.
Initially 0.5-2.0% by volume of UBDrill-144 EBL should be added directly into the mud. The product should be continually added or injected into the mud when the bit is drilling. Freshwater system recommended dosage is 1%, seawater system recommended dosage is 1.5%.
Recommended Handling
All personnel handling this material must handle it as an industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions as described in the Material Safety Data Sheet.
Packaging and Storage
175kg drum/4 drums/pallet. Store in dry, well-ventilated area. Keep container closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames. Store away from incompatibles.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What information is required to formulate a custom ROP enhancer?
To formulate your specific ROP enhancer, we require details on your fluid formulations/drilling mud system (water-based or oil-based, salinity, pH), operating conditions (temperature and pressure), technical requirements (such as high-salinity stability), and the designated test methods.
What are the main benefits of using UBDrill-144 EBL?
UBDrill-144 EBL increases ROP (Rate of Penetration) and reduces torque and drag in water-based drilling operations. It also helps prevent bit-balling and differentially stuck pipe without negatively affecting mud rheology or filtration properties.
Is UBDrill-144 EBL environmentally safe?
Yes, UBDrill-144 EBL is a naturally-occurring, ester-based lubricant derived from natural fats and oils. It is non-toxic to humans and the surrounding environment, making it an eco-friendly choice for onshore and offshore drilling.
What is the recommended dosage for this lubricant?
The initial recommended dosage is 0.5% to 2.0% by volume, added directly into the mud during drilling. For freshwater systems, the recommended dosage is 1%, and for seawater systems, it is 1.5%.
Are there any compatibility limitations?
Yes, you should avoid using UBDrill-144 EBL in high pH environments. Because downhole conditions vary, we recommend contacting YouzhuCHEM for technical guidance to ensure optimal performance.
How should UBDrill-144 EBL be packaged and stored?
It is packaged in 175kg drums (4 drums per pallet). It must be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area with containers tightly closed. Keep it away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible substances.
