Emulsifiers and surfactants play a crucial role in the formulation of drilling fluids, providing stability and ensuring effective performance in challenging environments. These additives help stabilize the emulsion, reduce fluid loss, and ensure the overall efficiency of the drilling process. At Proec Energy, we are prominent primary emulsifier manufacturers and secondary emulsifier manufacturers for mineral oil and paraffin-based drilling muds. Below, we highlight the various emulsifiers and surfactants that are integral to our comprehensive solutions for drilling operations.
EMULSIFIERS
PEL MUL P
It is a primary emulsifier for mineral oil or paraffin-based drilling muds. PEL MUL P requires the addition of lime and helps in reducing high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) filtrate loss. It helps stabilize emulsions and improves the wetting of drill solids by oil. When used in combination with PEL MUL S, it yields optimal results as it stabilizes the fluid system and maintains the integrity of the drilling fluid.
PEL MUL S
It is a secondary emulsifier for mineral oil or paraffin-based drilling muds. PEL MUL S acts as a wetting agent and helps stabilize emulsions and improves the wetting of drill solids by oil. The combined use of PEL MUL P and PEL MUL S in proper ratios enhances the overall stability of the fluid system, reducing the risk of emulsification issues during drilling operations.
PEL MUL O
It is a high-performance emulsifier designed for all oil-based mud systems. This one-pack emulsifier simplifies the emulsification process and is particularly effective in ensuring stable emulsions in demanding drilling environments, where maintaining fluid integrity is critical for successful operations.
SURFACTANTS
PEL WET
This is a wetting agent used in oil-based mud systems. PEL WET enhances the wetting of solids in diesel, mineral oil, or synthetic-based oil drilling fluids. By ensuring that drill cuttings and solids are properly wetted by the oil, PEL WET helps prevent issues such as increased torque and drag, low rate of penetration, and increased pump pressure.
PEL-THIN
It is used to control the rheological properties of invert emulsion drilling fluids. As a thinner, PEL-THIN helps in managing the viscosity and flow properties of drilling fluids, ensuring that they remain within the optimal range for efficient drilling operations. It is particularly useful in adjusting the fluid’s properties to suit specific drilling conditions, thereby enhancing the performance and stability of the mud system.
Beyond emulsifiers and surfactants, our product range extends to a variety of other essential drilling fluid additives. These include completion and cementing additives, shale stabilizers, fluid control additives for both oil and water-based systems, and water-based mud additives like lubricants, biocides, defoamers, dispersants and many more. Our commitment to providing high-quality solutions positions us as a key player among oilfield chemical suppliers and mud chemicals manufacturers globally.
