DESCRIPTION
Ezee-Gel is a proprietary formulation combining high quality Sodium Bentonite with a unique blend of versatile polymers to
produce the complete drilling fluid system. The Ezee-Gel system provides viscosity, hole cleaning properties and filtration
control which improves borehole stability in areas where formations are poorly consolidated and prone to instability.
Ezee-Gel is designed to eliminate product wastage and offers a more user-friendly solution in areas normally requiring
systems that involve multiple products.
APPLICATION
Ezee-Gel is a cost effective one sack drilling fluid system used for achieving viscosity filtration control and filter cake
quality in freshwater applications. Ezee-Gel contains components considered non-damaging to the environment; the
versatility of the Ezee-Gel suggests it has applications in mostly all types of drilling activities. Concentration rates
can be adjusted to suit specific applications, salinity must not exceed 10,000 milligrams per litre and hardness of 200
milligrams per litre of Calcium.
ADVANTAGES
- Stabilises water sensitive formations
- One sack product for easy mixing
- Benefits achieved at moderate concentrations
- Provides hole cleaning properties
- Wellbore stability through superior filtration control
- Stabilises unconsolidated formations
- Reduces torque and drag
- Prevents stuck pipe
- Non-toxic and non-damaging to the environment
TYPICAL PROPERTIES
