Thinners are specially formulated and chemically modified compound of lignite. It controls rheology and fluid loss, extends temperature limits, emulsifies oil, reduces flocculation and stabilizes water base drilling fluids. It finds application in fresh water and sea water systems. It provides a thin, thick wall cake accompanied with low fluid loss.

GLO CL 1000

GLO KL 1000

Description:

It is a specially formulated modified lignite compound compatible with all water base mud systems but it is developed specially for use in potassium based mud systems.

Application:

- It contributes the potassium ion to the mud systems and improves rheological properties.
- Reduces formation and reservoir damage by limiting the migration of clay.
- Reduces washouts and improves well caliper by base exchange.
- Helps to control water sensitive shales.
- Aids in controlling temperature stability of muds by reducing flocculation and gelation; and
- Improves rheological properties of water base system.
