A Shale Inhibitor used in Drilling is a Specialized Drilling Fluid additive to Prevent or Mitigate issues associated with Shale formations during Drilling operations. During Drilling there is shale integration and Swelling of Shales which lead to Wellbore Instability and collapse or Hole Enlargement. Shale Inhibitors manufactured by GDFCL are tested for performance to reduce the shale swelling or water absorption and Seal Micro fractures.
Global Drilling Fluids and Chemicals manufactures a range of High performance and High temperature Shale Inhibitors for water-based mud Systems (WBM) High performance Water base Mud Systems (HPWBM) and Oil and Synthetic Oil base Mud Systems (OBM and SOBM Mud Systems).
With Research and continuous improvement and feedback from clients across the world GDFCL has developed GLO SHALE-INHIB range of Products of both asphaltic and non-Asphaltic chemistry to handle troublesome shale, reduces clay hydration, Stabilize the wellbore walls and seal microfractures and control fluid losses.
GLO SHALE-INHIB Additives provide the Following advantages:
• Improves Wellbore Stability: prevents shale swelling and Disintegration
• Reduces Drilling issues such as stuck Pipe, Hole Enlargement and Wellbore collapse
• Improves Drilling Fluid Properties: Improves drilling fluid Rheology and Controls Fluid Loss
• Minimises Formation Damage and Seals Fractures
• Environmental Protection: Propriety Carbon Particles act as sealants and prevent contamination
