- Reduces bit and BHA balling
- Reduces solids and ultrafine solids buildup
- Increases shale shaker efficiency, no blinding
- Minimizes haul off and disposal
- Minimizes “Gumbo Downtime”
- Maximizes Rate of Penetration
- Reduces swab and surge potential
Physical Properties
- Form: Liquid/minimal mild odor
- Color: Red
- Density: 8.3 pounds per gallon
Packaging
- DrilCon™DS is available in 5-gallon buckets, 55-gallon drums, 275-gallon totes, 550-gallon bulk containers or disposable tote tanks.
