Tribex™ ERD Additive is a multifunctional, multipurpose, solid-state lubricant that functions in both aqueous and non-aqueous formulations. Tribex™ ERD Additive exhibits very stable suspension properties and creates a stable lubricating film that minimizes contact between the formation and drilling assembly in critical Extended Reach Drilling applications.
Advantages
- Reduce coefficient of friction (COF) through the development of a tribofilm
- Improve boundary condition friction
- Reduce stick-slip
- Improve directional sliding efficiency
- Prevent/minimize wear on drilling assembly
- Efficiently transport cuttings away from the bit face (low gravity solids)
- Minimizes heat stress due to friction
- Extended sealing capacity (secondary function)
- Wellbore stability
- Reduce well path tortuosity
- Reduced torque variations
- Efficient weight transfer to the bit in ERD applications
- Reduced Pickup and Slack off weights
- Improve Mechanical Specific Energy
