Feature And Benefits
TRUZAN provides excellent suspension properties restricting the settlement of weighting agents and drilled cuttings. TRUZAN is shear thinning and promotes low bit viscosity needed to maximize penetration rates, and high annular viscosity to ensure effective hole cleaning. TRUZAN is stable over a wide pH range and is effective in saturated brines as well as fresh and sea water base drilling fluids. TRUZAN is non–damaging to formations and can be removed effectively by acids and oxidants.
Product Function
TRUZAN is used in drilling and completion fluids to enhance their rheology, ensuring efficient hole cleaning and effective suspension properties.
Recommended treatment
The effective concentration of TRUZAN required will depend upon the base fluid being treated. Treatment levels are normally in the range of 0.25–2.0 lbs/bbl (0.7–5.71 kgs/m³)
Shipping References
Transportation of TRUZAN is not restricted by any regulatory agency.
