EZ-MUD® GOLD EU Clay and Shale Stabilizer provides inhibition of clay and shale formations in water-based drilling fluids without substantially increasing viscosity. EZ-MUD GOLD EU Clay and Shale Stabilizer, when added to a TUNNEL-GEL® PLUS or BARO-GEL® slurry, yields an inhibitive drilling fluid system while maintaining manageable and effective fluid properties. EZ-MUD GOLD EU Clay and Shale Stabilizer can be mixed easily at minimal shear thereby eliminating the need for liquid emulsions.

Applications and Functions

  •  Enhanced rheological properties of a low-solids drilling mud 
  • Clay and shale stabilization to prevent swelling and/or dispersion 
  • Borehole stability in water sensitive formations 
  • Minimized rotational torque and circulating pressure 
  • Enhancement of air-foam system capabilities 
  • Enhanced core recovery in continuous wireline coring operations

Advantages

  • Easy dispersion and mixing with minimal shear
  • Can be used at increased concentrations to gain inhibition without producing excess viscosity
  • No petroleum distillates present
  • Breaks down chemically with bleach (sodium hypochlorite)
  • Compatible with other Baroid drilling fluid additives when added in proper sequence
  • Non-fermenting
