Gilsonite FLC

Gilsonite FLC is used as an additive for drilling mud, and depending on the type of drilling, drilling depth, soil and density, as well as the pressure of the earth’s layers, the percentage of its use in the drilling mud formula is different. It is also used as FLC (fluid loss control) or fluid loss control in drilling mud, and by melting it causes the heat of the drilling drill and also the drilling drill’s lubrication.

Gilsonite’s bonding, adhesion, and filling properties prevent structural damage. By creating a physical and chemical bond with porous formations, Gilsonite creates an effective coating that prevents drilling fluids from penetrating into cracks. Gilsonite is economical in using less additives for various applications such as drilling mud. as the only agent with the simultaneous function of plasticity and sealant, the effect of Gilsonite in drilling mud can be mentioned that Gilsonite prevents fluid wastage and leakage, prevents the wastage of drilling mud rotation in the well and shale surfaces Reactive and low-reactive, it protects even when well temperatures rise.

Gilsonite a reliable solution for strengthening the well

HP/HT wells, shales, and pressure points require special drilling fluids and special well enhancement techniques. Adding gilsonite or natural bitumen to OBM or WBM plays a role in strengthening the well in the following ways:

Reducing pore pressure transfer and filling micro-cracks in shales and low-porosity sands
Making an impermeable filter cake on the walls of the well to prevent it from falling
Formation of a permanent protective layer along the well wall
Maintenance of different layers of the well

Gilsonite FLC best additive to prevent drilling tools from getting stuck in the well

From the effect of Gilsonite in drilling mud, it can be mentioned that this substance prevents the vulnerability of measuring and drilling tools by covering the permeable areas of the well even in the areas with high differential pressure and also the lubrication of filter cakes.

Functions of Gilsonite FLC in drilling mud

Minimizing the damage to energy reserves hidden in the ground, Cooling, lubrication, drilling tools and drill heads, Transmission of hydraulic energy to tools and drills, Ensuring adequate and correct evaluation of the formation, Facilitating cement work and finishing work, has not Bad effects on the environment, Prevent the formation of gas hydrate, Sten and fill permeable formations, Removal of waste from the well, Formation, pressure control, Suspend waste, Ensuring well stability and Corrosion control.
