DESCRIPTION

The AO-System is an all-oil drilling system formulated primarily for use with low aromatic content hydrocarbons. The foundation of the system is an activator which serves as a highly efficient gellant for organophilic clay. Utilization of this activator with a select enhanced performance clay and improved filtrate reducers provides a maximized system with exceptional rheological properties and superior filtration control.

FEATURES

• Synergistic blend of components yields improved static suspension and shear-thinning behavior under dynamic conditions
• Extremely effective in low aromatic content oils
• Simplified system with a reduced number of additives
• Highly efficient liquid filtrate reducers
• Low coefficient of friction
• Components easily dispersed with standard mixing equipment
