General Description Drilling Gilsonite Fluid Loss Control (FLC) is an effective solution for minimizing fluid loss and enhancing wellbore stability during challenging drilling operations. Gilsonite is used in drilling fluid loss control (FLC) and oil well cementing. Gilsonite, in a range of softening points and particle sizes, is a standard ingredient in oil-based drilling muds […]
Natural Amorphous Graphite The term “amorphous graphite” is a contradiction in terms All graphite is crystalline by definition, therefore it is impossible for graphite to be amorphous. However, the term was applied due the anhedral (no visible crystallinity) morphology of this form of graphite. To the untrained eye a piece of amorphous graphite simply looks […]
SBS Modified Bitumen Roofing SBS is a thermo plastic elastomer that has an excellent abrasion resistance and aging stability when blended with bitumen, making it the perfect bitumen modifier to achieve cold flexibility and elastic properties. This material has the ability to retain its shape after being stretched and therefore, is widely used in […]
APP and SBS Membranes By adding other materials to the bitumen, manufacturers can create a longer-lasting, more durable product – giving it either plastic or rubber properties. Modifying bitumen gives it the ability to withstand a wide temperature range, and superior weather proofing. For any roofing projects in cold weather environments, Elastoflex SA P Polar […]
Description Gilsonite is a key player in drilling fluid loss control (FLC) and oil well cementing. It’s used in oil-based drilling muds, especially when working with challenging geological formations like shale. By adding Gilsonite to water-based drilling fluids, it helps stabilize the shale, seal off permeable sands, and reduce hole washout. This also leads to […]
Gilsonite Deep Water Drilling Gilsonite in Deep Water Drilling has been proven safe and effective in more than 60 years of oilfield performance. Gilsonite is a safe, naturally occurring hydrocarbon resin with unique chemical properties. Added to drilling fluids, it increases performance and reduces cost in deepwater drilling while minimizing risk. Gilsonite Prevents Differential […]
Gilsonite in Water Based Drilling Muds (WBM) It is essential in water-based mud to use an additive that can resolve in water. Gilsonite is not solvable in water by nature. Therefore a chemical procedure with Sulfur must be applied to the natural bitumen at a temperature between 100-140 degrees Celsius. This process is called Sulfonating […]
Gilsonite Performs in (WBM) a cost-effective, high-performance drilling fluid additive, effective in a wide range of water-based systems for both low and high-temperature wells. Gilsonite is a free-flowing powder that mixes easily through the hopper and disperses with only mild agitation. It is tolerant of contaminants and eliminates the need for additional surfactants or coupling agents. […]
Gilsonite in Oil Based Drilling Muds (OBM) Oil Based Drilling Muds (OBM) Iran Gilsonite has many different quality and types, while only two grades of Iranian Gilsonite is suitable for FLC application and both are supplied by RAHA Group These products have been tested and succeeded for years in China, India & GCC countries and […]
General Description of Bitumen Rool Sheet Bitumen roll sheet is made from bitumen and fiberglass plus polymers are perfect for waterproofing roofs, basements, below-ground structures, bridges, and other structures. Waterproofing Bitumen Membrane Sheet (Here referred to as WPBS) are the best industrial outcome in the area of waterproofing ever attained by scientific and technological advancement. […]
