Salient Features:

Increases the bulk density of the fluffy material.
Will result in more material being packea.
Can be customized to suit the palletisation of different types of materials.
Saves cost by making it possible to ship more materials by volume reduction.
Allows more material in same type of packaging resulting in less handling of waste.
Requires comparatively less storage space.
Increases the shelf life.
Higher tolerance to rigorous oil field handling.

Polvo Additives for Water Based Mud:

Polvo series may increase system rheology which can be optimised by reduced dosages of traditional viscosifiers.

Salient Features

GT MUL HP offers a comprehensive suite of capabilities designed to meet the most demanding drilling fluid composition and workover operations.

Reservoir Friendly

Nitrogen free emulsifier designed for high internal phase applications under extreme conditions.

Easily Pumpable

Works effectively with minimal continuous oil phase at low as 30% resulting in cost savings.

Water or Brine Compatible

Compatible with high temperature emulsifier for normal oil water ratio without special fluid requirements.

Passes Through Grating

Works as primary as well as secondary emulsifiers providing flexibility through the grating size.

No Viscosity Effect

Provides strong and stable emulsion over wide range of internal phase salinities without viscosity issues.

Bit Compatible

Adsorbs on mineral surfaces reducing interfacial surface energy and rendering materials oil wet.

Non-Adhesive

Tolerant to water and drilled solids contaminations without adhesion issues or formation damage.

Easy Flow Back

Facilitates smooth flow back operations with excellent oil wetting properties at higher ratios.

Acid Soluble

Can be dissolved using acid treatments when removal or cleanup is required.

Application & Dosages

Follow these simple steps for optimal fluid in oil application in your operations

Compatible Base Oils

GT MUL HP is compatible with all types of base oils for versatile application.

Dosage Requirements

Required at dosage of 4 to 18 lb/bbl (11.4 to 45.7 kg/m³) depending on density and requirements.

Dosage Summary

Follow these simple steps for optimal Kure Pill application in your operations.

Prepare Base Fluid

Take 0.62 m³ of water or brine in a tank

Easily Pumpable

Place a grating on the hatch opening of the tank

Add Kure Pill

Mix 20 pails of 5 gallons each through the grating (normal losses)

Adjust for Severity

For severe losses: up to 40 pails in 0.62 m³ base fluid

Dosage Summary

Normal Losses

0.5 ppb in base fluid:
0.5+ ppb base fluid:
Optimum application:

Light cleaning
Standard cleaning
0.7-1.5 kg/m³

Severe Losses

Up to 40 ppb in mud:
15-25 ppb base fluid:
Result up to 15 ppf base volume:

Maximum effectiveness

Dosage Summary

Normal Losses

4 to 18 lb/bbl (11.4 to 45.7 kg/m³)
Varies with density requirements
Oil to water ratio dependent
Temperature stability consideration

Application Range

Compatible with all base oil types
Density dependent dosage
Results in 70% oil base volume
Temperature stability up to 450°F

Limitations

Polvo series may increase system rheology which can be optimised by reduced dosages of traditional viscosifiers.

Brine Compatibility

GT MUL HP requires relatively higher dosage of viscosifiers when oil phase is greater than 60%. GT MUL HP with oil water ratio less than 50% oil are stable up to 250°F. Please note that this system is compatible before application to maintain optimal performance and avoid potential complications during operations.
