TORQUE-EASE

An ecologically friendly drilling fluid lubricant and shale control additive for water based mud systems that reduces hole torque, limiting wear and rusting of the rods while extending the product life of the drill bit.  It is based on oleo chemicals, which are derived from natural oils and fats, and is therefore 100% biodegradable.

Method of Addition

• Torque-Ease can be added at 0.5–1.0 % by volume for torque and drag reduction.
• Torque-Ease can be added at 0.5-2.0% by volume for shale control.
• Torque-Ease can be spotted in its concentrated form across a zone where drill pipe is stuck. Sufficient soaking time should be allowed while tension and torque is applied to free rod.

Applications

Improved lubricity results in torque and drag reduction allowing faster, deeper and highly deviated drilling. It is effective in lateral drilling operations such as Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) and in mining coring operations where rate of penetration improvements and hole stability are required.

Advantages

• Improves lubricity
• Easily disperses in WBM
• Does not affect mud rheology
• Improves API filtration properties
• Compatible in arctic drilling conditions and is thermally stable to + 300°F
• Rust prevention
• Reduced product wear

Packaging and Storage

Torque-Ease is supplied in 5 gal/18.9 L pails.
