Glo Asphotex - Model 1000 -Sulphonated Asphalt

For shale control, fluid loss improving, Torque and Drag Reduction, Inhibition of Swelling clays  of all water mud’s.

Common Name – Sulphonated Asphalt/ Shale Stabilizer /HTHP Fluid Loss Controller.

• It compatible with all water based mud systems.
• Improves lubricity thereby reducing torque and drag of the drilling string.
• Seals small fractures in stressed shale formulation.
• Prevents bit and down hole assembly bailing by preferentially oil wetting the drill string.
• Reduces the down hole with temperature fluid loss and contributes to corrosion inhibition.
• Controls high temperature water loss.
• Inhibits swelling  clay and water wetting of shale’s
• Reduces HTHP(High Temperature High Pressure) Fluid Loss
• Improves Filter cake Quality and helps seal micro fractures
