Product Description

Product Description

MICROWATE^® 4.6 weighting material is ilmenite powder produced through a special grinding process, used to increase the density of drilling fluids. Compared with barite, its main features include specific gravity of approximately 4.6, average particle size D50 of only 5 microns, and its sphericity and roundness are close to perfect, with weak magnetism. These characteristics enable the drilling fluid formulated with MICROWATE^® 4.6 to maintain relatively low rheology and lower equivalent circulating density, reducing the risk of sedimentation, which is more conducive to the drilling of extended reach wells or ultra-long horizontal wells, and also beneficial for reservoir protection.

Applications/Functions

• Increases the density of drilling fluids
• Used in restricted ECD applications including depleted wells, deep water, narrow margin, high temperature wells
• Sag control issues

Advantages

• Much less damaging to formations due to its particle size, roundness and acid solubility with high return permeability ratio
• Much slower settling velocity than Barite in water
• Ideal weighting material to drill narrow margin well and ECD control

Typical Properties

• Appearance: Black Powder
• Specific gravity: 4.5 -4.7
• D50: 5μm

Recommended Treatment

• Specific drilling conditions will dictate a suitable concentration

Package

• 1 MT BIG BAG
