• A special lubricant designed for drilling and completion fluids

DESCRIPTION

Lubetex is a blend of special non-polluting oils and surfactants. It is non-flammable and biodegradable. Lubetex is available in 55 gal drums or in bulk.

BASE FLUIDS

Lubetex may be used in fresh water muds, sea water systems, sodium chloride, potassium chloride or calcium chloride brines.

APPLICATIONS

• Improves the lubricity of drilling and completion fluids by reducing friction between the drill string and walls of the borehole
• Soft shales have less tendency to adhere to bits and drill collars when Lubetex is present in the drilling fluid
• Concentrated in a batch of drilling mud and spotted across the zone of sticking, Lubetex may be used to free pipe stuck by differential pressure
• Lubetex is an excellent defoamer for fresh water, sea water, and salt water muds

ADVANTAGES

Lubetex contains no hydrocarbon oil. It has little effect upon the rheological properties of drilling fluids, is non-fluorescent and eliminates mud foaming problems.
