CoastaLube®
CoastaLube® is a high performance drilling fluid lubricant for water-based drilling systems, utilizing a polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic hydrocarbon base. CoastaLube® is an environmentally safe lubricity additive with a secondary function of well bore stability and shale inhibition. PAOs are man-made and contain no aromatics or the adverse properties of traditional mineral and diesel oils.
Sun's CoastaLube® enhances the performance of drilling mud in low-pressure situations by coating the formation and drill string as well as acting as a boundary layer lubricant in high temperature and pressure applications. CoastaLube® is readily dispersible and compatible with salt water based systems.
CoastaLube® has proven successful in solving problems relating to angle building, angle dropping, kick-off point difficulties, and mud motor drag.
