BAROID, "EZ-MUD", BOREHOLE STABILIZER, VISCOSIFIER, 5 GALLON CAN, 32 PER PALLET

Description

EZ-MUD, a liquid polymer emulsion containing partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide/polyacrylate (PHPA) copolymer, is used primarily as a borehole stabilizer to prevent reactive shale and clay from swelling and sloughing. EZ-MUD is added to low-solids drilling fluids to increase fluid viscosity, and is also used to improve carrying capacity of air/foam injection fluids or low-solids fluids formulated with QUIK-GEL®.

Applications/Functions

EZ-MUD clay-free drilling fluid and QUIK-GEL®/EZ-MUD drilling mud system are applicable to all types of drilling operations.

Water wells
Geo-construction Diamond coring
Horizontal directional drilling (HDD)
Minerals exploration
River crossing
Seismograph shot holes
Blast holes
Stabilize water sensitive formations
Improve borehole stability
Enhance slurry rheological properties
Alleviate mud rings, bit balling and booting-off in clay formations
Reduce drill pipe torque and pumping pressure
Minimize rod chatter in diamond core drilling
Create "stiff-foam" and maintain foam integrity
Flocculate non-reactive solids in reserve pit
Reduce water loss effectively when added to pre-mixed QUIK-GEL slurry and other drilling mud systems

Advantages

Mixes easily with minimum shear in fresh water
Develops viscosity rapidly
Rapid settling of cuttings in pit-aids in preventing recirculation of drilled cuttings back into the wellbore
Non-fermenting
Cost effective - small amounts produce desired results
Chemically degradable

Typical Properties

Appearance - Thick, opaque white liquid
Density - 8.5 lb/gal (1.02 g/cm3)
pH (1 quart per 100 gallons water) - 8.5
Flash point, PMCC °F(°C) - >200(>93.3)
Thermal stability, °F(°C) - 250(121)

Recommended Treatment

Approximate Amounts of EZ-MUD® Added to Drilling Fluid System
Drilling Application/Desired Property	Quarts/ 100 gal	Pints/bbl	Liters/mÃ‚Â³
Added to fresh water (To formulate a clay-free drilling fluid)
To stabilize water-sensitive formations	1.0	1.0	2.5
To stop rod vibration, reduce torque and pumping pressure	1.5	1.25	3.75
Added to QUIK-GEL® bentonite drilling mud (25 lb/100 gal) or (30 kg/mÃ‚Â³)
To improve hole cleaning, increase hole stability and to improve performance properties	1.0	1.0	2.5
Added to injection liquid in air/foam drilling applications
To improve foam performance and hole conditions	0.5 - 1.0	0.5 - 1.0	1.3 - 2.5

Notes:
EZ-MUD can be chemically broken down with liquid bleach in regular household concentration (5% sodium hypochlorite). Use one gallon of liquid bleach per 100 gallons (10 liters/m3) of fluid formulated with EZ-MUD. Do not use perfumed liquid bleach or solid calcium hypochlorite.

Packaging

EZ-MUD is packaged in 5-gal (19-liter) plastic containers.
