RESINITE® (resinated lignite)

RESINITE® is a synthetic lignite-phenol-formaldehyde resin designed to reduce fluid loss and stabilize the rheological properties of all types of water-based drilling fluids under adverse downhole conditions: high temperatures and in the presence of contaminants. RESINITE® is one of the most effective additives of this type to ensure low filtration and stable viscosity of heavy muds at high bottom-hole temperatures.

Description

RESINITE® can be used in any type of water-based drilling fluids. It is very effective in freshwater, saltwater, seawater, lime, gypsum, lignosulfonate, polymer, heavy and non-dispersed muds. It extends the temperature limitations to above 200C (400F).

RESINITE® is irreplaceable in heavy muds when any increase in viscosity is undesirable, which is often observed when treated with other filtration control agents.

Applications/Functions

• provides superior filtration control under adverse conditions (200C / 400 F and above)
• does not increase viscosity
• stabilizes rheological properties, prevents mud gelation under high

Advantages

• resists contamination
• improves filter cake quality
• reduces differential sticking tendencies

Recommended treatment

Normal treatment ranges from 2 to 6 lb/bbl (5.7 to 17 kg/m3) depending on the degree of filtration-control desired, the original mud system characteristics and the environment in which it is used. The product is designed to have a minimal effect on the viscosity of most mud systems; however, RESINITE® may reduce the viscosity of non-dispersed systems.
