Product Description

Product Description

AQUAHIB^® shale inhibitor is a liquid blend containing silicic acid and potassium salt used to inhibit and stabilize highly reactive clays in water-based drilling fluids. It helps to seal pores and micro-fractures in the formation, reduce bit balling, accretion tendencies, and reduce corrosion. It is suitable in fresh water and monovalent brines up to 325°F. AQUAHIB^® is not compatible with divalent ions and when used with sea water, hardness should be treated out prior product addition.

Applications/Functions

• Provides inhibition and stabilization of highly reactive clay and shale formations
• Seals pores and micro-fractures in the formation
• Reduces bit balling potential and accretion tendencies

Advantages

• Stable at temperature up to 325°F
• Excellent shale inhibitor used in high performance water-based mud systems
• Cost effective product as alternative of KCl/Polymer

Typical Properties

• Appearance: Dark yellow liquid
• Specific gravity: 1.36
• pH: 12

Recommended Treatment

• A typical treatment range is 1-4% v/v
