Description : It is a specially formulated modified lignite compound compatible with all water base mud systems but it is developed specially for use in potassium based mud systems.It is chemically modified so that it delivers a higher degree of synergy with lignosulfonates in drilling fluids.

Application and Use :

•     It contributes the potassium ion to the mud systems and improves rheological properties.
•     Reduces formation and reservoir damage by limiting the migration of clay.
•     Reduces washouts and improves well caliper by base exchange.
•     Helps to control water sensitive shales.
•     Aids in controlling temperature stability of muds by reducing flocculation and gelation
•     Improves rheological properties of water base system.
