Oil-wetting agents
Wetting-agent selection for solids and weighting materials in oil-based muds.
How it is used
Oil-wetting agents change the wetting behaviour of drilled solids and weighting materials toward the continuous oil phase. They support the formulation of a stable mud alongside the primary and secondary emulsifier system.
Application areas
- Oil-based drilling muds
- Oil-wetting of drilled solids
- Wetting support for weighting materials
Formulation considerations
Organic-phospholipid blends are one approach to oil-wetting. Evaluate the formulation with the mud solids and base oil.
What we need to select a grade
- Base oil, internal brine and emulsifier package
- Solids type, concentration and mud density
- Wetting, emulsion-stability and fluid-loss 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.
