CoastaLube®
Drilling & Coil Tubing Fluid Additive
Exceptional Lubricity Using Sun’s PAO Technology
CoastaLube® is a high performance lubricant for water-based drilling and coil tubing fluid systems, utilizing a polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic hydrocarbon base. Environmentally safe, CoastaLube® has a secondary function of wellbore stability and shale inhibition. PAOs are man-made and contain no aromatics or have the adverse properties of traditional mineral and diesel oils.
Sun's CoastaLube® enhances the performance of drilling fluid in low-pressure situations by coating the formation and drill string as well as acting as a boundary layer lubricant in high-temperature and high-pressure applications. CoastaLube® is readily dispersible and compatible with fresh and saltwater-based systems.
CoastaLube® has proven successful in solving problems related to angle building, angle dropping, kick-off point difficulties and mud motor drag since introduction in 1988.
