CAL-TROL Fluid Loss Control Additive

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

CAL-TROL is a specially formulated Fluid Loss Control Additive for Water-Based Fluid Systems effective at high temperatures. It is primarily a Fluid Loss Control Additive and an effective Viscosifier. It is nonionic and suitable for use in fluids with salts or ion sensitive additives.

APPLICATION

CAL-TROL when used with bridging agent like sized calcium carbonate, it forms a thin easily removable filter cake. It enhances Low Shear Rate Viscosity in water-based fluid systems compared to other fluid loss control products like PAC or starch-based additives.CAL-TROL can be used in most brines including seawater, NaCl, KCl, CaCl2, NaBr and formate salt systems. It controls calcium contamination over a wide pH range and can be used at temperatures to 330°F. At higher bottom hole temperatures, athermal extender is recommended.

ADVANTAGES

CAL-TROL is Non Ionic, suitable for use in fluids with salts or ion sensitive additives. It functions as an effective Viscosifier for water-based fluid systems. CAL-TROL provides a thin, easily removablefilter cake which minimizes formation damage. It enhances Low Shera Rate Viscosity (LSRV). It is stable at higher temperatures

RECOMMENDED TREATMENT

CAL-TROL normal concentrations are in the range of 1 to 4 lb/bbl (2.85 to 11.4 kg/m3) range. Special ultra-low, fluid-loss formulations require higher concentrations.

PACKING AND STORAGE

CAL-TROL is packed in 25 kg Multilayer Paper Bags.

CAL-TROL is an equivalent to FLO-TROL (MI)
