Shark Oilfield Viscosifier Ezclay Lite

Product Description

Product Description

EZCLAY^® LITE is a high-temperature rheology modifier derived from natural sepiolite used in water-based drilling fluids. It is a pure natural, non-toxic, odorless, asbestos-free and non-radioactive hydrated magnesium silicate clay mineral. Microscopically, EZCLAY^® LITE is fibrous and easily dispersible in water and highly polar solvents. Through the random dispersion of its fibers, a network structure is formed, displaying excellent suspension and rheological properties. EZCLAY^® LITE can maintain stable performance under high salt or high-temperature drilling environment. The drilling fluid mixed with EZCLAY^® LITE does not flocculate at high temperatures, is not affected by charged ions in salt water, and has almost the same hydration expansion in fresh water and salt water. It is widely used as rheology modifier in salt water, sea water drilling and high-temperature drilling fields. Moreover, it is partially acid-soluble and is an ideal material used in completion fluids and workover fluids.

Applications/Functions

• Used as thixotropic rheology modifier, low-shear thickener, anti-settling agent in high salty and high temperature drilling environment
• Performance not affected by high ionic concentration
• Ideal drilling fluid material for marine drilling, gypsum salt formations, deep wells and geothermal wells

Advantages

• Saturated brine, gypsum or cement resistant at any pH level
• High temperature stable up to 570°F
• Excellent colloidal, rheological and thixotropic properties

Typical Properties

• Appearance: Light cream, free-flowing powder; Bulk density: 0.20-0.24

Recommended Treatment

• A typical range is 2-7 ppb. Pilot tests are recommended to optimize performance prior to use. No high shear necessary, but proper homogenization in favor

Package

• 25 KG SACK or 1 MT BAG
