PENETROL

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)
  • pH (1%) solution - 9.5
Recommended Treatment Added uniformly through entire circulation system
 
  • 1 to 4 quarts of PENETROL per 100 gallons of drilling fluid
  • 2.5 to 10 liters of PENETROL per m3 of drilling fluid
As a slug down drill rods to counteract the sticking tendencies of clay
 
  • 1 to 2 quarts of PENETROL per drill rod
  • 1 to 2 liters of PENETROL per drill rod
Alternate application
 
  • Dilute 1 gallon of PENETROL with 10 gallons of water and inject one gallon of mixture per minute into the pump suction
  • Dilute 3.8 liters of PENETROL with 38 liters of water and inject 3.8 liters of mixture per minute into the pump suction
Packaging PENETROL is packaged in 5-gal (19-liter) plastic containers.
