Gilsonite is the most cost-effective multifunctional additive for any type of mud. With its unique chemical properties and physical characteristics, Gilsonite is scientifically proven to improve wellbore stability, plug micro-fractures, and bond and seal all types of formations. Multifunctional Gilsonite lowers costs by allowing you to use fewer additives.

Gilsonite is the only additive that provides all these benefits

• Controls fluid loss and seepage.
• Stabilizes shales.
• Prevents lost circulation.
• Strengthens the wellbore.
• Minimizes differential sticking.
• Performs in oil- and water-based drilling muds.
• Performs in HP/HT environments.
• Passes deepwater EPA regulations.

Proven to strengthen the wellbore

HP/HT wells, shales and under pressured zones require specialized drilling fluids and wellbore-strengthening techniques. Adding Gilsonite uintaite to an OBM, SBM or WBM strengthens the well by:

• Reducing pore pressure transmission and sealing micro-fractures in shale and low-porosity sands
• Keeping interbedding formations intact
• Developing effective filter cake
• Providing a “smear effect” that creates a continuous protective sealant along the wellbore wall.

Packaging

Gilsonite is available in HDPE bags of 25 / 50 Kgs. Customized packaging is also available on request.
