Sun's Coastal Spot®
The
Leader In Freeing Differentially Stuck Pipe!
Sun's Coastal
Spot®
is a unique blend combining a polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic hydrocarbon,
special emulsifiers, activators, and initiators. The PAO-base fluid is patented
by Sun Drilling Products Corporation for use as a drilling fluid
additive.
Differential pressure sticking is the most common cause of stuck pipe in
drilling operations. Circumstances that lead to differential sticking vary and
include:
¨ Overbalanced formation pressure
¨ Stationary drill string
¨
Excessive filter cake
As
drilling fluid is lost into the formation, the small pores of the formation face
serve as filters; trapping the solids present in the mud system and causing
filter cake thickening. Sun's Coastal
Spot®
dehydrates and cracks this filter cake, penetrating the area around the pipe
with the highly lubricious PAO, allowing the stuck pipe to become free.
