Feature And Benefits
OILPLEX™ is very effective at increasing low end rheology.
OILPLEX™ is stable at temperatures up to 232⁰C (450⁰F).
Product Function
OILPLEX™ is most effective in low density fluids. It is used to reduce the amount of OILGEL–PLUS™ and / or OILGEL™ required to produce required viscosity.
Recommended treatment
OILPLEX™ is normally utilized during initial formulation of the oil base drilling fluid in concentrations of 0.1–0.2 lbs/bbl (0.3–0.57 kgs/m³). It is normally utilized to maintain rheological properties while drilling.
Shipping References
Transportation of OILPLEX™ is not restricted by any regulatory agency.
