Description

SOLTEX is a sodium asphalt sulfonate made water soluble by a unique sulfonation process. It is a versatile, total mud conditioner that stabilizes shale formations, significantly increases lubricity and lowers HTHP filtration volume. SOLTEX enhances filter cake properties in both oil and water based drilling fluids.

Application & Advantages

Application
It stabilizes shale formations by inhibiting disintegration.
Inhibits the dispersion of drilled solids.
Controls high-temperature filtration properties.
Acts as a corrosion inhibitor at high temperature.
Can be a substitute for diesel oil in the mud system.
Reduces torque and drag and prolongs the life of the bit.
Will emulsify diesel oil into the mud system.


Advantages

  • Controls water and oil solubility to effect best chemical and physical performance

  • Minimizes damage to productive formations

  • Reacts with shale to prevent or stop sloughing and swelling

  • Significantly increases lubricity; either alone or synergistically with small amounts of oils and synthetics

  • Environmentally acceptable

  • Extremely temperature stable

  • Inhibits dispersion of drilled solids

  • Minimal and easily distinguishable fluorescence

  • Will not leave oil slick, sheen or rainbow on water at offshore locations

  • No emulsifiers needed to ensure proper mixing

Recoomended Treatment
For high temperature high pressure filtration control: 2.0 to 6.0 ppb.
For shale stabilization: 2.0 to 8.0 ppb.
To reduce torque and drag: 2.0 to 6.0 ppb.
As an emulsifier of diesel oil: 0.8 to 3.0 ppb.
As a substitute for diesel oil: 2.0 to 6.0 ppb.
