EP MudLube

EXTREME PRESSURE LUBRICANT

EP MUDLUBE modified tall oil fatty acid can be used to impart extreme pressure lubricating properties to drilling fluids. EP MUDLUBE lubricant readily adsorbs on exposed surfaces, providing a physical coating that is effective in reducing metal-to-metal friction.
 

• Effective small concentrations
• Help reduce metal-to-metal friction and resultant torque
• Compatible with other Baroid drilling fluid additives when added in proper sequence

 

• Can reduce drill rod torque and drag
• Can Lubricate drill rods and casing in close tolerance boreholes
• Can reduce heat generated at bit face
• Can enhance tolerance of chemical contaminations in drilling fluids
• Can minimize differential sticking
• Can mitigate drill string corrosion

 

Appearance: Thick dark fluid
Specific gravity: 146 (63)
Flash Point, PUCC F (C): 0.94
 

Using a Venturi Mixer, or into vortex of a high-speed stirrer, add slowly and uniformly to the entire circulating system.

Approximate Amounts of EP MUDLUBE lubricant Added to Water Based Fluids
Application	Quart/bbl	Quart/100 gal	Liter/m³
Added to bentonite or polymer-based drilling fluid	0.75 – 3.5	2 – 8	5 – 20
Slug treatment for torque reduction in problematic zones and deviated holes	2 – 4 quarts (2 – 4 liters) added directly to pipe

EP MUDLUBE extreme pressure lubricant is packaged in 5-gallon (19-liter) plastic containers and 55-gallon (208-liter) drums.
