CT-CLAYSTOP High Temperature Clay Inhibitor

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

CT-CLAYSTOP is a specially formulated is a shale/clay stabilizer, lubricity modifier, and fluid loss additive to be used in most water-based systems and is extremely effective in lignosulfonate, potassium and PHPA polymer mud systems. The readily dispersible nature of the product allows high concentrations to be added easily to the mud system. CT-CLAYSTOP is made from blended natural hydrocarbons, a special blend of natural asphalt/bitumen in solvents and surfactants, which rapidly disperses in water-based fluids. The product mixture helps seal water sensitive shales as well as bridging micro-fractures and permeable zones. It seals the micro-fractures and stabilizes the formation while reducing the dynamic fluid loss.

APPLICATION

CT-CLAYSTOP has been extremely effective in Lignosulfonate, Potassium and PHPA mud systems. It stable to 204°C (400°F) and reduces API, HTHP, dynamic filtration, spurt-loss values.

ADVANTAGES

• Improves lubricity, wellbore stability & Shale inhibition.

• It reduces fluid loss at high temperatures.

• Reduces bit balling, even in clays

• Reduces filter-cake buildup in depleted sands

• Excellent environmental acceptability.
