AUS-TROL
VISCOSIFIER/FILTRATION CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
AUS-TROL is white granular organic polymer that forms a
clear, colloidal solution in fresh or salty water.
APPLICATIONS/FUNCTIONS
AUS-TROL is a protective colloid which inhibits the hydration
of water sensitive formations, improving core recovery in
diamond drilling applications. AUS-TROL reduces pump
pressure, rod torque, vibration and improves bit life.
AUS-TROL can be used with AUS-GEL, CR-650 and LIQUIPOL
to give a complete core recovery fluid that is solids free. It
can also be used to make up stiff foam in air drilling operations.
ADVANTAGES
- Effective - Improved core recovery in most difficult drilling conditions.
- Economical - Saves on freight costs, storage and mixing time.
- Versatile - Works in fresh or salty water and reduces filtrate loss to improve hole stability through sensitive
clays.
- Environmentally Friendly - AUS-TROL is non toxic and does not ferment. The product is colourless, odourless
and tasteless in water.
RECOMMENDED TREATMENT
- 2 - 3kg per 1000 litres - To make up complete drilling fluid
- 0.5 - 1.0kg per 1000 litres - To stop rod vibration, reduce torque and lower circulating pressure
- 1 - 2kg per 1000 litres - To improve foam performance and hole condition
