General Description of Gilsonite in Drilling Sector 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 used in shale and other difficult geological formations. The addition of specially-treated Gilsonite to water-based drilling fluids […]
How Gilsonite Helps with Fluid Loss Control (FLC) in Drilling 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 […]
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 eliminates deep […]
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 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 […]
Gilsonite in FLUID LOSS CONTROL additive in oil-based Drilling muds (OBM) To achieve more effective drilling, in drilling rigs, mud is applied to the driller in order to reduce the temperature of the hole while providing an efficient drill. Drilling mud is a lubricant applied in this process. In stricter environmental drilling, where Synthetics Muds […]
Description of Gilsonite in Foundry In Foundry and Refractories, for molding high-value metals there is more attention to factors such as finishing. Gilsonite can be a superior carbon additive replacing the traditional Sea Coal which has low Carbonic value compared to Gilsonite Specifications. Gilsonite is used as a carbonate additive in casting sand to […]
General description of Gilsonite in Oil & Gas Gilsonite Oil & Gas-based product which provides optimum filtration control for water-based muds and oil-based mud systems. Gilsonite will reduce both API and HTHP filter losses, provide for a more stable wellbore while drilling troublesome shales and clays, and increase emulsion stability in OBM’s. For many years […]
