R.O.P. Enhancer™
The gold standard to increase drilling rates!
R.O.P.Enhancer™ "ROPE" for short, is a hydration suppressing water dispersible, environmentally accepted protein compound designed to increase lubricity and to reduce dispersion and swelling of reactive formations.
Advantages or Benefits
¨ Reduces bit and BHA balling potential when drilling soft shales
¨ Effective shale hydration suppressant in all water-base systems
¨ Increases rate of penetration through preferential lubricity coating of drill string and keeping BHA clean
¨ Increases lubricity and decreases the coefficient of friction, thereby reducing torque and drag
¨ Effectively inhibits shale or gumbo clays from hydrating; minimizing bit and BHA balling potential
¨ May be used in fresh water, seawater, saltwater, low solids or weighted systems without adverse effects on properties
¨ Lowers API and HTHP fluid loss
¨ Mixes easily without special shearing equipment
¨ Environmentally safe to use and discharge both onshore & offshore
¨ Thermally stable >300°F
¨ Does not adversely affect mud properties
Physical Properties
¨ Appearance: Golden liquid
¨ Specific Gravity: 1.05
¨ Dispersability in water: 100 %
¨ pH: 7.5
Packaging
¨ R.O.P.Enhancer™ is available in 55-gallon (208 liter) drums, 275-gallon (1041 liter) totes or 550-gallon (2,081 liter) bulk containers or disposable tote tanks
Product Recommendations and Mixing Procedures
¨ R.O.P.Enhancer™ may be added directly to any fresh water, seawater or saltwater systems. No special mixing requirements or shear are necessary.
¨ For optimum performance, a minimum concentration of 3% to 5% by volume is required.
