Thinners/Dispersants - Oil Sands Coring

Humalite is a naturally oxidized coal-like material similar to Leonardite (Lignite) but has a much higher humified organic matter content and significantly lower residuals. Humalite is used in water-based muds as a thinner (dispersant), and a secondary filtration control agent. It is a more stable thinner and filtration control additive at high temperatures than are the lignosulfonates. Concentrations vary …

The main application of Soap Stick FS-16 is for the reduction of mud rings, bit balling and cake build-up on drill strings. Soap Stick FS-16 is most effective by dropping them down the drill pipe on connections as needed. It will start dissolving immediately on contact with the water in the pipe. The dissolution rate will vary. …

CF Desco II is used to control rheological properties in water based drilling fluids. CF Desco II is an alkaline material, which is effective in a wide pH range (optimum is suggested at 9.0-11.0) in fresh water and salt-water muds. CF Desco II is highly effective at low concentrations and is compatible with all other mud …

Earth Pro Di-Sperse 72L is effective at any pH and due to its rapid dissolution, it immediately affects the flow properties of a drilling fluid. Its primary function is to act as a flow control agent by reducing viscosity and gel strengths in conventional and low solids water based drilling fluids.

Earth Pro Drilling Detergent L is an anionic, liquid, surface wetting agent. It can be added directly to the mud system and is normally used in concentrations of 0.2-0.6 L/m³. Earth Pro Drilling Detergent L is added to water based mud systems to reduce surface tension.

TKPP is a highly soluble, more environmentally friendly, low sodium alternative to SAPP. It is used as a replacement to SAPP due to its low sodium content where LWD is the preferred method of disposal. TKPP’s main application is for the dispersion of mud rings when water drilling and as a rapid thinner prior to cementing casing. In water …

Earth Pro Claysperse L is a cationic liquid dispersant and thinner for water based drilling fluids. It is primarily used for deflocculation of drill solids and as a bentonite thinner. It can also be used as a filter cake enhancer. It is best suited for fresh water systems with mud weight below 1200 kg/m³.
