UltraWash

Oilfield drilling detergent and foaming agents are an aqueous blend of surface-active agents that reduce the surface tension of water-based drilling fluids and remove the sticking tendency of water-sensitive shale cuttings. Detergent is used practically in all drilling areas and in virtually any water and oil-based drilling projects and operations. It is used primarily in upper-hole cleaning and cleaning drilling equipment and pipes. Significant research and innovation are devoted to developing and formulating detergents for drilling muds to reduce the adhesion of clay particles to drill pipes while deepening complex sections of the trajectory of a directional well in intervals composed of clay rocks. Drilling rocks of this kind in water-based mud often face various complications, such as bit-balling, column tacking, etc. Oil seal formation is the process of sticking soft sticky rocks (usually clays) on the cutting edges of the bit, which leads to their temporary inefficiencies on the elements of the drill string in the places of transition from a large diameter to a smaller one. This process leads to a decrease in the penetration rate, an increase in the forces of resistance to movement of the tool in the well, and the occurrence of talus and rockfall due to the effect of the piston at lifting the drill string with the oil seal. The cause of oil seal formation is insufficient breed inhibition, particularly hydration and drilling of granular, highly permeable formations. Resistance forces to tool movement in wells largely depend on the quality of the drilling fluid and, above all, on the level of its antifriction and adhesive properties. In this case, the bit balling increases uncontrolled hydrodynamic pressures in the wellbore and the possibility of oil and gas shows and hydraulic fracturing. To address the above issues, suitable oilfield drilling detergent and lubricant additives are used to reduce friction between the borehole walls and the drill string and to reduce bits and elements of the bottom hole assembly balling.

UltraWash

Centum’s advanced performance UltraWash is drilling detergents, and foam agents are modern, innovative wetting additives designed for water and oil-based drilling muds. The effect of using the product during drilling is that clay particles do not stick to the drill bit and drill string. Our drilling detergent also improves the lubricating properties of the mud and the ability to precipitate sand and other impurities. Centum’s foaming agent and detergent are surfactant-rich drilling fluid additive blends intended to prevent formation shales and clays from sticking to the drilling assembly and prevent gumbo shale from agglomerating and plugging the annulus and flowlines. UltraWash helps minimize the drill string's torque and drag as it is rotated and moved up and down in the hole. Using our detergent blend leads to a decrease in oil seal formation on the bit due to a decrease in the adhesion of clay particles to metal surfaces. This detergent additive improves the rheological properties of the drilling fluid and increases the lubricating properties at its best. UltraWash and FoamPlus are engineered to offer maximum performance during onshore and offshore drilling operations and help meet ESG and sustainability targets. It helps to cut operational costs significantly. The selected raw materials and additives are locally sourced and offer ultimate quality. At Centum, we custom engineer UltraWash and FoamPlus to meet specific drilling project needs.
