Synthesised Graphite
Synthesised Graphite Powder is a High resilient , Deformable Dual composition graphite, plugging agent which is provides bridge and sealing of permeable formations in water, oil, or synthetic based mud systems and cement slurry. It can be used to control seepage in severe lost circulation zones. It is completely inert and does not affect the rheological properties of drilling fluid systems. It reduces torque and drag by increasing lubricity. Its resiliency maintains a seal to block fluid losses. It is an effective sealing material for both Natural and induced Fractures
Application:
Graphite Powder is designed to bridge and seal permeable formations. It controls lost circulation and increasing lubricity and reduce torque and drag and sticking tendencies at high temperature. The Excellent Deformability and Resilience of the GRAPHTEK helps to Form an Effective pressure Seal and Reduces Fluid Loss
Advantages of Graphite Powder:
- Excellent bridging and sealing agent for a wide range of formations.
- Reduces torque and drag in all mud systems by increasing the lubricity.
- Inert material with no adverse effects on mud rheology and Compatible with all mud Systems.
- Effective at high temperature and High Pressure.
- Compatible with other LCM materials, Fibers and Mineral Blends.
- Increases Strength/pressure gradient of weak formations.
- Provides Lubricity and reduces deferential sticking and stuck pipe
- Non toxic.
- Can be used in both water Base Mud (WBM) and Oil Base Mud (OBM) Systems. or Synthetic Base Muds (SOBM ) without any significant change in Rheology.
- Reduces Potential for Stuck Pipe.
