PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

• Deep Black FR™ is part of a family of additives consisting of stabilized dispersion of graphite in an environ- mentally friendly oily medium (low BTEX).
• Deep Black FR™ provides all functions of graphite lubricants.
• Deep Black FR™ is particularly effective as a friction reducer in fresh water and brines based completion and coiled tubing fluids.
• Deep Black FR™ can be used as a thickener for fresh water or brines in work-over or completions operations.
• Deep Black FR™ can be used as a thickener for Slick Water Fracturing.
• Deep Black FR™ can be used as thickener or aqueous lubricant for use in pipeline.

BENEFITS AND USE

• Deep Black FR™ uses the new technology concept which means to treat solid particles with a teflonized derivative.
• Deep Black FR™ with a slippery surface tension free ability to coat the well bore and drill bit and therefore reduces torque and drag which in turn increases ROP.
• Deep Black FR™ is non-toxic, non-combustible and contains no heavy metals or environmentally hazardous chemicals.
• Deep Black FR™ provides for high drilling efficiency and minimization of well costs in vertical, inclined and horizontal wellbores, completion and work-over operations, as well as coiled tubing.
• Deep Black FR™ does not generate damage formation.

ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES

• Optimizes lubrication, especially at higher temperatures
• Inhibits hydration of the clay fraction in shale
• Reduces wellbore damage, especially vibration induced formation damage resulting from the stick-slip phenomenon
• Stabilizes rheological properties, leading to greater borehole efficiency
• Stabilizes HTHP filtrate values
• Slicks the entire open-hole, casing and drill-string; reducing frictional forces
• Reduction of torque and drag values
• Reduction or elimination of bit and BHA balling
• Significant reductions in tubular and drilling equipment wear
• Improved tripping, logging and casing run times
• Provides additional viscosity to WBM

TREATMENT

• Deep Black FRTM is easily dispersed and may be added via a hopper directly into the active system or through pre-mixing.
• Concentration should vary dependent on mud types, density, well path design (anticipated torque and drag) and anticipated formation.
• Field experience has shown that a treatment of 3.5- 8 ppb to be effective in reducing torque and drag due to brittle formations and pressurized shale and clay inhibition.
• Treatment on maintenance of daily addition of between 0.25 and 0.50 ppb should be made.
• Control of HPHT filtrate values could be an efficient way to follow the Deep Black FRTM performance and additions to the system.

PACKAGING

• 55 Gallon Drum
• 275 Gallon Tote
• Bulk
