NEODRIL® High-Performance oil-based mud system is state-of-the-art technology among competing invert emulsion systems as a true Clay-free system without any organic clay, organophilic lignite, asphalt or gilsonite additives and so on traditional black powder products.
Minimizing solids content and a unique gel structure allows the NEODRIL® system to boost the best drilling performance through lowest equivalent circulation density (ECD) achieved, best penetration rate, non-damage to reservoir and sag-free in any diesel or mineral oil-based applications. This makes NEODRIL® the ideal choice to drill ERD wells with lateral section over 5000m length in onshoure shale gas blocks and deep-water wells.
- Clay-Free OBM presenting with much lower oil-water ratio requires less base oil cost compared to conventional systems.
- Use polymer and emulsion technology to rapidly create a "rapid-set/easy-break" gel strength.
- Stable mud properties over a wide temperature and density range (400+°F and 18.0+ ppg).
- Fragile gel strengths that can significantly reduce downhole losses - which can lower operating costs and lessen environmental impact when compared to conventional invert emulsion fluids.
- Unique rheological properties that can provide low ECDs with greater suspension properties, eliminating the need for fine ground weighting agents while providing excellent hole cleaning.
- Significantly lower solids with maximized flow rate achieved for more horsepower to the motor and bit resulting in increased ROP.
- Fewer products than required for conventional synthetics, improving logistics and rig space usage.
- No sag in hole or circulating to stabilize mud weight after long static aging.
- Extremely thin filter cake and low fluid invasion to promote optimal logging conditions, superior return permeability and low lift-off pressures.
Specific components include:
NEOMUL® P & S - concentrated emulsifiers that provide excellent emulsion stability, filtration control and thermal stability.
NEOVIS® & NEOMOD®- polymeric viscosifier that increase low end rheology while providing suspension and hole cleaning capacities without using clay-base additives.
NEOMOD® 63 - rheology modifier that increase low end rheology while providing suspension and hole cleaning capacities in invert emulsion drilling fluids. It is highly effective in improving the 3 rpm and 6rmp readings of oil-based drilling fluid without increasing the plastic viscosity.
NEOTROL® & NEOTROL HT- polymeric filtration control additive is a white free-flowing powder product that can provide filtration control in diesel, mineral and synthetic-based drilling fluids up to 450°F(232°C).
To ensure that the fluid formulation truly meets your required specifications, SHARK’s expert will work with you to pilot test the fluid before fully deploying it as part of your drilling program.
