TRUDENSE - I

TRUDENSE - I is micronized ilmenite (FeTiO₃) readily available milled powder material. It can be used on its own, with barite, Micromax or other weight materials. It enables the production of low Rheology fluids for good ECD management and low sag. It is easily soluble in oilfield acids and has an excellent HSE profile. It is milled to a narrow PSD with a D50 of 5μ and a D90 of <15μ.

Feature And Benefits
TRUDENSE - I is approximately 10%denser than barite and with lower particle size provides a good performance on ECD and improved Sag factor.
Product Function
Sag Control: because the product particles have a D50 of around 5μ; they are less likely to settle. Compared to API barite in water, they will settle approx. 8 times slower. ECD Management: The small particle size, round shape and inertness of TRUDENSE - I produces fluids with significantly lower rheologies. This makes it I ideal to use in fluids required to drill narrow ECD margin wells and enables greater control of rheology to manage hydraulics for hole-cleaning, horsepower usage, etc. Formation Damage Mitigation: TRUDENSE -I is less damaging than other weighting additives because of its micronized size and roundness which enables easier flow back through the formation. This is confirmed by return permeability tests. ItI is also soluble in acids such as HCl (Inorganic acid), Organic acids and Chelating agents.
Recommended treatment
Use as needed to increase density.
