BAROID, "PENETROL", RATE OF PENETRATION ENHANCER, 5 GALLON CAN, 32 PER PALLET

Description

PENETROL, a water miscible, forest green, drilling fluid additive, is designed for use as a rate of penetration enhancer and wetting agent while drilling problematic formations.

Applications/Functions

• Increase drill rates by preferentially wetting the bit teeth and drill string
• Reduce surface tension of drilling fluid, which allows faster chip removal without continuously grinding the hard shale formations
• Reduce or eliminate bit balling
• Minimize differential sticking
• Increase bit life and reduce drill pipe and bottom-hole assembly wear 

Advantages

• Easy to mix
• Effective in low concentrations
• Compatible with other Baroid drilling fluid additives
• Biodegradable 

Typical Properties

• Appearance - forest green liquid
• Specific Gravity - 0.98
• Flash point, TOC, °F(°C) > 300(149)

Recommended Treatment

Added uniformly through entire circulation system

• 1 to 4 quarts of PENETROL per 100 gallons of drilling fluid
