Product Application

RXSOL CTL (COIL TUBING LUBRICANT)  is an proprietary cosolvent and surfactant blend that is highly effective as a brine and drilling fluid lubricant and friction reducer in all water-base completion fluids and drilling fluids.

Horizontal Drilling: Using RXSOL CTL  in drilling fluids is ideal for horizontal and deviated wells. When drilling horizontally with conventional fluids, friction may occur as torque, drag and stacking up of weight causing “slide” problems for the drill string. The problems with “sliding” will be minimized since RXSOL CTL  has a high affinity for metal surfaces and forms a lubricating film on the coil and drillpipe that adheres tenaciously.Therefore, due to the superior friction reduction properties of RXSOL CTL , horizontal and deviated wells will be drilled faster at a lesser cost due to the reduction of torque, drag and a better control of bit weight. PDC bits may be used more frequently instead of tricone bits, as bit weight and stall outs can be controlled in a better manner.

 Multilateral Wells: RXSOL CTL (COIL TUBING LUBRICANT) will give you the best friction reduction due to its extremely high attraction to metal surfaces. This (polar) attraction increases the efficiency of RXSOL CTL  as it initially adheres to metal instead of other surfaces such as drill solids. This metal affinity allows the bottom hole assembly and drill pipe to coat much quicker than standard water soluble or dispersible lubricants. This allows for a more effective and efficient lubricating process.

Liner Operation:  RXSOL CTL  will improve friction conditions when running liners with minimum tolerances and/or slotted production liners. Simply place the pill with  RXSOL CTL  inside the casing shoe and run the liner through the pill. ECONOLUBE will reduce the friction drastically, aid installation of the liner and obtain rotation prior to cementing.
