Description
inhibiting the uptake of water and thereby mitigating their swelling or dispersion tendencies.
PERMORMATROL shale stabilizer can also flocculate any dispersed clays or colloidal particles and aid their
removal by solids control equipment. PERFOMATROL shale stabilizer is effective in freshwater or
monovalent brines, is shear thinning, provides lubricity, has a low environmental toxicity, is highly
biodegradable and is non-hazardous to rig personnel. PERFORMATROL shale stabilizer is stable to 250°F
(121°C) but may achieve higher temperature stability with the use of oxygen scavengers.
Advantages • Highly effective in potassium-based systems and can be used in freshwater fluids
• Very low environmental toxicity, highly biodegradable
• Minimal effect on drilling fluid viscosity and fluid loss control
• Non-hazardous to rig personnel
• Gold rated with no substitution warning for use in North Sea
Recommended
Dependant upon reactivity of shales encountered but typically 3% v/v
