OBMPrimary Emulsifier
AK SUPRA-MUL
A fatty acid-based emulsifier enhanced with amides, capable of emulsifying water in oil. It is a high-efficiency emulsifier that fulfills the role of primary emulsifier, maintaining the stability of oil-based drilling muds throughout the drilling cycle.
Advantages
Superior emulsion stability: Capable of forming stable inverse emulsions, maintaining rheology at optimal operating values.
Property enhancement: Directly improves electrical stability and helps lubricate the drill bit.
Promotes solids wetting: Reduces interfacial tension and improves oil wettability.
OBMSecondary Emulsifier
AK SUPRA-CHEM
A fatty polyamide solid wetter designed for optimal performance in oil-based drilling fluid systems. When used together with AK SUPRA-MUL, it facilitates the creation of stable inverse emulsions at high temperatures.
Advantages
Promotes solids wetting: Reduces interfacial tension and improves the wettability of solids toward oil.
Thermal stability: Thermally stable, improving filtration under high pressure and temperature conditions (up to 350°F / 177°C).
Superior emulsion stability: Capable of forming stable inverse emulsions, maintaining electrical stability and rheology at optimal values.
OBMFiltration Controller
AK TROL
A high-quality Natural Asphaltite used as a filtration controller in oil-based drilling muds. Sourced from regulated natural deposits and processed to maximize performance, with full product traceability guaranteed.
Advantages
Excellent performance: Efficiently reduces fluid loss during drilling.
Mechanical stability: Helps maintain wellbore stability throughout the drilling operation.
Softening point: Properly suited to most drilling conditions across the region.
OBMOrganophilic Clay
AK GEL 75
A high-performance organophilic clay designed to improve the viscosity and stability of oil-based muds. At low shear rates it keeps drill cuttings in suspension without compromising hydraulics, while simultaneously aiding in wellbore cleaning.
Advantages
Excellent performance: Maintains rheological and stability properties of oil-based systems.
Wide compatibility: Compatible with diesel, mineral, and synthetic oil phases.
HT/HP resistance: Retains its viscosifying properties under high pressure and temperature, even in high-salinity systems.
WBMLubricant
AK HYDRALUBE
A vegetable oil-based lubricant designed to reduce friction between the drill bit and the geological formation, protecting downhole tools and extending their service life. In high pressure and temperature environments it reduces torque and prevents sticking during drilling.
Advantages
High torque reduction: Efficiently reduces the friction factor across a wide range of conditions.
Excellent performance: Maintains effectiveness even under high pressure and temperature conditions.
Saponification-free: Chemical stability maintains mud integrity and efficacy over a wide pH range.
WBMFiltration Controller
AK SULFONATED ASPHALT
A strategically formulated sulfonated asphalt that imparts hydrophilic properties to asphalt, ensuring optimal and uniform dispersion in water-based drilling muds. Forms thin films on wellbore walls to minimize fluid filtration and improve shale stability.
Advantages
Wellbore stability: Improves mechanical stability in the wellbore.
Superior filtration control: Drastically reduces fluid filtration during drilling.
Enhanced chemical resistance: Good performance in alkaline environments.
Water-dispersible: High dispersibility in water due to hydrophilic functional groups.
No stable foam formation: Reduces the need for defoamers.
WBMClay Inhibitor
AK SHALE-PRO
An advanced technology additive based on polyamines, used to control clay swelling problems. Controls the natural cationic exchange occurring in shale formations and reduces clay adherence to the drill string.
Advantages
Cationic exchange control: Interacts with clay layers preventing expansion and inhibiting water absorption.
Formation stability: Controlling clay swelling directly contributes to the structural integrity of the wellbore.
Improved rheological properties: Prevents viscosity variations in muds caused by clay activity.
WBMClay Inhibitor
AK SHALE-HIB
An advanced technology additive designed to inhibit shale and clay hydration. Its formulation combines quaternary amines synthesized in a triprotic acid medium, generating a dibasic potassium complex that suppresses cationic exchange in shales. Includes a surfactant that prevents bit balling.
Advantages
Cationic exchange suppression: The dibasic potassium complex acts more effectively than conventional salts, reducing ionic mobility.
Formation stability: Controlling clay swelling directly contributes to the structural integrity of the wellbore.
Compatibility and operational versatility: Works in water-based mud systems of varying densities and conditions without compromising other additives.
WBMROP Enhancer
AK HYPER RATE
A high-performance Poly-Glycol-based rate of penetration (ROP) enhancer, designed to reduce the adherence of drill solids to the BHA, enabling improved ROP and preventing pipe sticking.
Advantages
Reduced operational costs: Enables faster, more consistent penetration and reduces non-productive time from reaming.
Improved lubricity: Reduces the friction factor and reactive torque.
Drilling fluid preservation: Provides a coadjuvant effect on the inhibition of reactive clay swelling.
WBMROP Enhancer
AK HYPER RATE MAX
A Polyalphaolefin (PAO) and surfactant-based rate of penetration (ROP) enhancer, designed to minimize drill solid adherence to the BHA, delivering maximum ROP improvement and preventing pipe sticking in demanding formations.
Advantages
Accretion reduction: Minimizes clay adherence to the BHA.
Improved lubricity: PAO base reduces the friction factor and reactive torque.
Thermal stability: Improves thermal stability of water-based systems due to its chemical nature, maintaining rheological properties.
WBMDispersant & Filtration Controller
AK LIGNITE NA+
A Causticized Lignite designed to improve the properties of water-based drilling muds. Its chemical modification allows it to function as both a filtration controller and a dispersant, particularly effective in high-solids environments.
Advantages
Effective filtration control: Improves the mud's ability to form thin, low-permeability filter cakes on the wellbore walls.
Improved mud properties: As a dispersant, prevents particle agglomeration by modifying the surface charge of solids and maintaining the rheological properties of the system.
