It is designed to reduce the surface tension of all water-base mud systems and reduce the sticking tendency of water-sensitive shale cuttings.
RXSOL ORG DD has application in all drilling areas and can be used in virtually any water-base drilling fluid. It is used primarily in upper-hole drilling to minimize bit and Bottom-Hole Assembly (BHA) balling, reduce surface tension, and aid in dropping sand and the removal of drill solids.
DRILLING DETERGENT may be used as an emulsifier at any point in the drilling operation to improve emulsification of oil and reduce the viscosity of oil- contaminated fluids. RXSOL ORG DD frequently reduces torque and drag, even when no oil is present in the system. Normal treatments range from 0.1 to 0.2 lb/bbl (0.3 to 0.6 kg/m3) and provide satisfactory performance under most conditions.
In severegumbo shale areas, 4 to 6 lb/bbl (11.4 to 17 kg/m3) concentrations of RXSOL ORG Drilling Detergent are recommended to minimize bit and BHA balling; higher concentrations may cause foaming and require a defoamer. Rxsol ORG DD is effective in all water-base systems including freshwater, brackish water, seawater and saturated saltwater fluids.
