SOL-HIB A

a polyamine-based clay hydration inhibitor. It prevents shale swelling by intercalating and reducing the space between clay platelets, making it difficult for water molecules to penetrate. It effectively inhibits the hydration of shale or gumbo clays, minimizing the possibility of bit balling.

Application

• SOL-HIB A can be used in drilling and completion fluids in both offshore and onshore applications. It provides excellent shale suppression and minimizes dilution rates while being resistant to common contaminants such as cement, hard water, carbon dioxide, drill solids and crude oil. SOL-HIB A can be directly added into the mud system without affecting its viscosity and filtration properties, providing a good inhibition performance even at low concentrations. Recommended Dosage Recommended dosage: 0.3 – 2.0%. Actual dosage will largely depend on shale reactivity
