Extreme Pressure Lubricant
Data Sheets
NXS-LUBE extreme pressure (EP) lubricant is a proprietary blend of synthetic components specially formulated to help provide friction reduction in water-based fluids. NXS-LUBE lubricant has proven extremely effective in helping to minimize friction pressures in the metal-to-metal and metal-to-formation environments found in high angle wells.
Applications and Functions
- Reduce drill rod torque and drag
- Lubricate drill rods and casing in close tolerance boreholes
- Reduce heat generated at bit face
- Enhance tolerance of chemical contaminations in drilling fluids
- Minimize potential for differential sticking
Advantages
- Effective at low concentrations
- Can mix in fresh or salty water
- Compatible with most drilling fluid additives
- Minimal effect on rheological properties
- Helps increase lubricating properties of bentonite and polymer based drilling fluid systems
- Stable at elevated sub-surface temperatures
