CLAY SHALE STABILIZER CT-CLAYSTOP

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.
