Quik Trol
QUIK-TROL modified natural cellulosic polymer can provide filtration control in most water-based drilling fluids. QUIK-TROL additive, when added to a QUIK-GEL or BORE-GEL slurry, yields a drilling mud system suitable for drilling in sandy formation. QUIK-TROL additive can be added to vegetable or mineral oil to provide an oil-based fluid suspension, which can be poured into drill string directly. QUIK-TROL additive is also used in air/gel-foam drilling.
- NSF/ANSI Standard 60 certified
- Effective in fresh water, salt water and brackish water-based drilling fluids
- Effective in small quantities for filtration control
- Non-fermenting
- Compatible with other Baroid drilling fluid additives
- Resistant to harsh environments and contaminants
Application
- Can provide filtration control in fresh or brackish water-based drilling fluids
- Can promote borehole stability in water sensitive formations
- Can minimize rotational torque and circulating pressure
- Can improve hole cleaning and core recovery
- Can stiffen foam to improve cuttings transport in air/foam drilling
- Can reduce air requirements, uphole velocity and borehole annulus pressure in air/foam drilling.
Typical Properties
Appearance: White, free-flowing powder
pH (1% aqueous solution): 8.0
Mixing & Handling
Using a Venturi Mixer, or into vortex of a high-speed stirrer, add slowly and uniformly to the entire circulating system.
| Added to fresh or salt water | lb/100 gal | kg/m³ |
|---|---|---|
| To help stabilize water sensitive formationTo help reduce torque and lower circulating pressure | 3 – 50.5 – 1 | 4-70.6-1.0 |
| Added to QUIK-GEL slurry (25 lb/100 gallons) or (30 kilograms per m³) | lb/100 gal | kg/m³ |
| To help reduce filtration rate and improve borehole stability | 0.5-1.0 | 0.6-1.7 |
| Added to BORE-GEL slurry (35 lb/100 gallons) or (42 kilograms per m³) | lb/100 gal | kg/m³ |
| To help reduce filtration rate and improve borehole stability | 0.5-1.0 | 0.6-1.2 |
| Added to injection liquid in air/foam drilling | lb/100 gal | kg/m³ |
| To help improve foam performance and hole condition | 0.5-1.5 | 0.6-1.7 |
Note: Very salty waters may require twice as much QUIK-TROL polymer or filtration control additive as fresh water. Preferably, QUIK-TROL polymer or filtration control additive should be mixed in fresh water before it is added to very salty water.
Packaging & Controls
QUIK-TROL filtration control additive is packaged in a 20-lb plastic can containing 10 airtight sealed plastic bags. Each bag contains 2-lb (0.91 kg). QUIK-TROL is also available in 40-lb plastic cans.
