Gilsonite as the Offshore Shale Stabilizer The laboratory analysis of four water-based muds (WBM) compared two blends of treated Gilsonite with sulfonated asphalt, which is a widely used shale stabilization and fluid loss control agent. In the series of tests, lignite/lignosulfonate, KCl, PHPA, and lime-based drilling fluids were examined on a triaxial tester that specifically […]

Gilsonite Drilling Mud Additive What is Fluid Loss Control Additive? At first we want to answer the question: what is fluid loss? Fluid loss control additive is also called filtration control agents. Fluid loss control additives may occur when the fluid such as natural bitumen comes in contact with a porous formation. This is relevant […]
