Product Introduction

Specifically designed to improve ROP in high-performance water-based drilling fluid systems.

UBDrill-143 enhancer employs a special blend of surfactants to keep the bit free of solids. It also assists in removing any buildup of drill solids below the bit, enabling the cutters to make continuous contact with the formation.

Applications / Functions

▲

Water-based drilling fluids

▲

Medium to hard shale formations

▲

Onshore and Offshore drilling operations

▲

For ROP enhancement, 1~3% by volume of the UBDrill-143 enhancer should be added directly to the mud system at or near the pump suction over one circulation period. Ideally, the initial treatment should be made prior to drilling out of the casing shoe or after a trip and before entering the hole while the bit and BHA are clean. After the initial treatment, the product should be continually added or injected into the mud stream at the pump suction while the bit is drilling.

▲

The injection rate will vary according to hole size, pump rate, dilution rates, and ROP.

▲

UBDrill-143 enhancer concentrations of up to 7% by volume will not affect drilling fluid properties or environmental toxicity.

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 (MSDS).

Packaging and Storage

The UBDrill-143 enhancer is packaged in 55-galUS [208-L] drums. It is also available in bulk.

Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Keep container closed. Keep away from heat, sparks, and flames. Store away from incompatibles.

Case Study

Offshore Black Sea area is well known for drilling difficulties like wellbore instability, bit balling and tight hole while tripping, caused by the highly reactive shale formation. Other challenges for this Deep Water exploration well were considered to be Gas Hydrates, narrow Mud Weight window, hole cleaning, fluid and waste volume handling.

The Operator required formulating a high performance inhibitive Water Based mud not only to mitigate all technical challenges but also to minimize any environmental risk.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is UBDrill-143 and how does it work?

UBDrill-143 is a specialized water-based mud ROP enhancer. It uses a proprietary blend of surfactants to keep the drill bit free from solid accumulations and cleans debris underneath the bit, allowing cutters to make continuous contact with the geological formation.

What is the recommended dosage for UBDrill-143?

The recommended dosage for general ROP enhancement is 1% to 3% by volume added directly into the mud system at or near the pump suction over one circulation period, followed by continuous maintenance injection while drilling.

Will high concentrations of UBDrill-143 affect mud properties or the environment?

No. Concentrations of UBDrill-143 up to 7% by volume do not negatively impact drilling fluid rheological properties or environmental toxicity profiles.

What drilling environments and drill bits are most suitable for UBDrill-143?

It is ideal for both onshore and offshore drilling operations in medium to hard shale formations, and works exceptionally well in combination with Talon PDC drill bits to reduce torque, drag, and bit/BHA balling.

What are the packaging and storage requirements?

UBDrill-143 is supplied in 55-gal US (208-L) drums or bulk packaging. It must be stored in tightly closed containers in a dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, open flames, sparks, and incompatible substances.

When is the best time to perform the initial mud treatment?

The initial treatment should ideally be completed prior to drilling out of the casing shoe or after a trip before re-entering the hole while the bit and Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) remain clean.
