STEELSEAL FINE is a resilient, angular, dual-composition carbon-based material that allows compressed, tightly packed particles in pores and small fractures to expand or contract without being dislodged or collapsed due to changes in differential pressures.
STEELSEAL FINE, a lost circulation additive for synthetic and oil-based drilling fluids, has been finely ground to stop losses in porous and micro-fractured formations.
STEELSEAL FINE is also effective in water-based fluids as a lost circulation additive and solid lubricant for torque and drag reduction.
*Applications/Functions: Seal porous and small fractured formations, Impart lubricity to water-based fluids, Reduce torque and drag
*Advantages: Designed for loss circulation prevention in synthetic and water-based drilling fluids, Increased fracture propagation pressures of test samples exposed to oil-based and synthetic-based fluids, Exhibits a resiliency that allows it to deform to fracture size, Concentrations up to 80 lb/bbl (230 kg/m3) have been added without plugging drilling equipment or adversely affecting rheological properties. |
