RXSOL Tex Additive (Mud Conditioner)
Product Code: RXSOL-81-8189-025

Product Description

RXSOL Tex Additive is a sodium asphalt sulfonate made water soluble by a unique sulfonation process. It is a versatile, total mud conditioner that stabilizes shale formations, significantly increases lubricity, and lowers HTHP water loss. Rxsol Tex Additive enhances filter cake properties in both oil-based and water-based muds. Due to  unique chemistry of Rxsol Tex Additive has delivered extraordinary results in both water-based and oil-based muds.

Product Short Description

Rxsol Tex Additive is a sodium asphalt sulfonate made water soluble by a unique sulfonation process.

Product Application

Use for stablize shale formations, significantly increases lubricity, and lowers HTHP water loss.

Product Dose

Mixing : Conventional hopper when chlorides do not exceed 60,000 ppm. When adding to high salinity systems, pre-wetting Rxsol Tex Additive  with fresh water by adding through chemical barrel may give best results.

DOSE : According to application below deose are recomended -

2.0 to 6.0 ppb (6.0 to 17.0 kg/m3)
General hole conditioning 2.0 to 6.0 ppb (6.0 to 17.0 kg/m3)
 

Product Note

Advantages
 

  • Controlled water and oil solubility to effect best chemical and physical performance.
  • Minimizes damage to productive formations.
  • Reacts with shale to prevent or stop sloughing and swelling.
  • Significantly increases lubricity; either alone or synergistically with small amounts of oils and synthetics.
  • Environmentally acceptable - is used on land and offshore.
  • Extremely temperature stable - does not have the softening point typically associated with un-reacted asphaltic additives.
  • Inhibits dispersion of drilled solids.
  • Minimal and easily distinguishable fluorescence - does not hamper well logging or core analysis.
  • Will not leave oil slick, sheen or rainbow on water at offshore locations.
  • No emulsifiers needed to ensure proper mixing.
  • Stable in Drilling Applications to 500 °F.
