BlacKnite^®

“Engineered for the Prevention of Stuck Pipe!”

BlacKnite^®  performs greater than the sum of its parts.  This “original & patented” multi-sized particle, multi-blended dispersed coupled gilsonite, lignite and carbon black in PPG-surfactant based liquid has a primary function to prevent stuck pipe, reduce fluid loss and create a borehole condition that is not only stable, but stronger with exceptional HPHT fluid loss control.

Advantages or Benefits

• HPHT and Dynamic fluid loss control
• Improved filter cake texture and compaction
• Enhances borehole stability
• Provides broad PSD for micro fracture sealing
• Assists in sealing depleted formations
• Aids in reactive shale stability
• Enhances rheology control
• Non-toxic
• Environmentally safe
• Non-sheening
• Compatible with most water based fluids

Physical Properties 

• Form:                            Liquid Dispersion
• Color:                            Black
• Specific Gravity: 1.08
• Pour Point:                    -20° C

Packaging 

BlacKnite^® is available in 55-Gallon drums, 275-Gallon totes, 550-Gallon bulk containers, or disposable tote tanks. 

Product Recommendations and Mixing Procedures 

BlacKnite^® can be mixed directly in mud systems.  Additions of BlacKnite^® are best accomplished by adding the product directly to the suction tank or through the rig hopper; however, the product can be added as a chemical pre-mix when necessary.  

Concentrations of 1-3% (depending on mud density) will be sufficient for borehole stability, HPHT rheology control, and HPHT filtrate reduction, and assist in inhibition.
