Surfactant
Data Sheet:
PENETROL DRY surfactant is used to assist in counteracting the sticking tendencies of encountered clay or shale during drilling operations.
PENETROL DRY is a free-flowing granular product and is easy to mix. It is effective at low concentrations and produces minimal foaming during high shear mixing. It is compatible with other Baroid drilling fluid additives and NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 60 certified.
Applications and Functions
- Reduces and/or minimizes bit balling
- Improves drilling efficiency by preferentially coating the bottom-hole assembly and drill string
- Minimizes potential for accretion and agglomeration of cuttings
