Gilsonite FLC- Drilling Fluid Loss Controller Gilsonite FLC- Drilling Fluid Loss Controller There are basically three types of drilling muds: 1– Oil-Based-Muds – OBM: Base material is Oil product, such as diesel oil 2– Water_Based_Muds – WBM: Base material is water 3– Synthetic_Based_Muds – SBM: Base materials is polymers Gilsonite is vastly used in all […]
Oil Based Muds Gilsonite is used as FLUID LOSS CONTROL additive or FLC in oil based mud (OBM). It can be applied according to its hydrocarbon nature and the proper softening point to cause a significant decrease in the loss of fluids during the drilling process. The Gilsonite Solubility in Oil matters (measured by solving in […]
