Description PENETROL, a water miscible, non-ionic wetting agent, is designed to counteract the sticking tendencies of clay.
Applications/Functions
  • Reduce or eliminate bit balling
  • Reduce surface tension of drilling fluid, which allows faster chip removal without continuously grinding the hard shale formations
  • Improve drilling efficiency by preferentially coating the bottom-hole assembly and drill string
  • 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
  • NSF/ANSI Standard 60 certified
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
