Extreme-pressure lubrication
Lubricant selection for drilling fluids where friction, torque and drag require attention.
How it is used
Drilling lubricants help form a lubricating interface between the drill string and wellbore. Selection depends on mud chemistry, loading, well geometry and compatibility with other additives.
Application areas
- Deviated and extended-reach wells
- Drilling-fluid torque and drag management
- Mud systems requiring lubricity support
Formulation considerations
Ester-, acid-, soap- and oil-based lubricant approaches should be assessed for mud compatibility.
What we need to select a grade
- Water- or oil-based mud formulation and salinity
- Temperature, well geometry and friction data
- Compatibility, lubricity-test and fluid-performance requirements
Product data and handling
Request the current technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the proposed grade. Confirm dosage, compatibility, handling and supply requirements before use.
Drilling-fluid lubrication is distinct from the diesel-fuel lubricity application of INTRON dLube.
