Universal Drilling Fluids

We are Causticized Lignite Manufacturer in India.

UNIVERSAL offers a line of thinners and dispersants that are specially designed to modify the relationship between the viscosity and percentage of solids in drilling fluids. UNIVERSAL is a Causticized Lignite manufacturer in India. We provide thinners for most water-, oil-, and synthetic-based drilling fluids. Moreover, we are the best quality thinners and dispersants manufacturer in India

Causticized Lignite-UNICL

UNICL facilitates in controlling rheology and reduces fluid loss, extends temperature limits, emulsifies oil, reduces flocculation, and stabilizes water-base drilling fluids. Additionally, it has an alkaline pH, therefore it does not require large caustic additions to maintain a stable pH. UNICL is a partially soluble additive that provides thin, low-permeability filter cakes accompanied by low fluid loss. It is especially effective in high-temperature applications and in dispersed systems as a synergistic additive with lignosulfonates. UNICL is used in virtually any water-base fluid

Advantage

  • Provides  improved filtration control.
  • Reduces viscosity and gel strength
  • Maintains a more constant pH and reduces treatments of caustic soda.
  • Significantly extends the temperature stability of water-based fluids
  • Resists the effects of  contamination
  • Improves filter cake quality by reducing its thickness and  permeability
  • Reduces wall-sticking tendencies
  • Stabilizes rheological properties
  • Compatible with a wide range of water-based systems
  • Contains fewer heavy metals excluding deflocculants
Applications

UNICL may be used for rheology and filtration control in all water-base muds and for helping maintain a constant pH. Moreover, it is especially effective at stabilizing the properties of muds exposed to high temperatures and contaminants such as calcium. Additionally, UNICL does not require treatments with caustic soda. It is compatible with all common mud additives.

Recommended Treatment

Normal treatments of UNICL range from 1 to 10 lb/bbl (2.85 to 28.5 kg/ m³ ). In high-salinity systems, it is preferable to premix the UNICL in freshwater to enhance dispersibility. Furthermore, add the premix to the active system. UNICL functions effectively in mud systems with an alkaline pH in the range of 9 to 11.

Mud Performance

Limitations

  • Most effective in alkaline systems with a pH of 9.5 or above
  • Rather, it con chrome which may not be acceptable for all applications, furthermore, it also depends on local environmental regulations and considerations

Toxicity and Handling 

Bioassay information is available upon request. Instead, handle as an industrial chemical. As handling, this product additionally requires wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions as described in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
