FAQs
Shale inhibitors prevent reactive shale from absorbing water and swelling, which is a primary cause of stuck pipe, wellbore collapse, and lost circulation in water-based drilling. We supply different types depending on the formation and salinity, including polyamine-based options like Claystab AB, as well as specialized glycol and PHPA-based solutions.
Sulphonated asphalt like Sulf Mac inhibits cuttings dispersion and controls fluid loss, while natural asphalt like PEL TROL is more versatile, acting simultaneously as a shale stabilizer, lost circulation material, and fluid loss control additive. The choice between them depends on the specific wellbore conditions and whether lubricity or multi-function performance is the priority.
Lost circulation materials are used when drilling fluid escapes into fractures or porous formations. They physically plug openings using fibers, granules, or flakes depending on the size and type of the loss zone. Sized options like PEL Carb calcium carbonate cover bridging applications, while blended systems like PEL LCM M provide an acid-soluble multi-particle solution for severely fractured formations.
Drilling polymers like PEL-PHPA stabilize reactive shale by encapsulating cuttings and coating shale surfaces to prevent water absorption and dispersion in water-based drilling fluids. As dedicated drilling polymer suppliers, Proec offers PEL-PHPA in both powder and emulsion form, suitable for polymer-based drilling and drill-in fluids across a range of formation types.
Drilling starch like PEL STARCH PG is a modified natural starch that controls filtration rates and provides rheological support in water-based mud systems, meeting or exceeding API 13A performance specifications. As experienced drilling starch manufacturers, Proec’s PEL STARCH range also includes a high-temperature variant PEL STARCH HT, remaining effective up to 285°F..
