DIAMOND STEELTM

DIAMOND STEELTM is a blend of sized inert carbon particles. Each particle is held together by a system of covalent, carbon-carbon bonds. Essentially, each particle is a system of large arrays of aromatic rings, fused together at carbon apices, with only a limited number of heteroatoms located primarily at crystal edge sites. Although these particles can form a thin film by the cleavage of adjacent carbon "sheets," breakage across a sheet requires very high energy. As a result, these particles have no known solvent under normal conditions.

There are no organic oils, ketones, ethers, etc., which are known to attack them. Therefore, DIAMOND STEELTM (Fine) is an excellent additive for synthetic oil fluids. The particles do not swell, or react with clay formations. Accordingly, back flushing of oil and/or gas from producing reservoirs appears to remove the particles and reservoir impairment does not appear to be a problem. However, the particles do have a certain amount of flex which helps to prevent reduction in particle size distribution during drilling operations.

Through our research and development we have found the key to the success of a loss circulation material is the particle size distribution. The absence of a proper distribution will result in failure in severe conditions. The differences in particle size cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is determined by careful screening and then blended according to percentages determined by exhaustive testing DIAMOND STEELTM is a superior loss circulation material when compared to like additives due to its composition and particle size distribution.

Primary Applications

DIAMOND STEELTM can be added to the active mud system and allowed to circulate while drilling, but the ideal application is to add from 10 to 20 pounds per barrel in sweeps.
It performs in oil or water base drilling fluids.
Laboratory tests with synthetic oil fluid using a 190-micron disk reveal almost total sealing while testing at 2500 psi and 250 degrees F. This is a very severe test and very few products are able to seal with any efficiency. The base mud fails immediately with no control.

Physical Properties

Appearance: Black granule with silver luster
Specific gravity: 2.22-2.25
Dispersible (not soluble): Water & Oil

Packaging/Handling

DIAMOND STEELTM is completely environmental safe. It can be land farmed, dumped overboard or spilled with no harmful effects.
It is packaged in multi walled paper bags at 50 pounds each.
Please read the MSDS before handling this product.
DIAMOND STEELTM has definite advantages over conventional fiber applications when trying to seal fractures. Particle size distribution and amount of bridging agent are the two most important factors. By its make up, higher concentration of DIAMOND STEELTM can be used with much less effect on mud properties.








DIAMOND SQUEEZETM

“DIAMOND SQUEEZE"TM is a whitish product with various LCM products which when squeezed will turn into a hard mud cake.

S.O. LUBE 1000TM
(R.O.P. ENHANCEMENT)

S.O. LUBE 1000TM is a 100% petroleum based, extreme pressure, biodegradable, pollution free drilling lubricant designed to be a one-step lubricant for use in all troublesome wells.

S.O. LUBE 1000TM is formulated to provide the following benefits:

Increases R.O.P. with 3% - 6% concentration

Minimizes torque and drag

Minimizes Differential sticking

Stabilizes the well bore and therefore preventing sloughing shales by lowing the high temperature, high pressure water loss and forming a durable filter cake

Eliminates bit balling and thereby improves the penetration rate by allowing more weight on the bit and increased rotary table RPM

Reduces wear on all down hole tools and casing in directional wells to reduce the likelihood of a twist off and/or fishing job

Assists in reducing drag when logging tools are being run

Compatibility with all types of mud systems

It helps prevent washout when drilling through a salt zone because S.O. LUBE 1000TM will not dissolve salt

Minimizes premature bit bearing failure, thereby helping to reduce the number of bit changes

Does not affect the Theological properties of any mud system

Will not be affected by temperatures up to 500O degrees F

Can be checked on a retort. Will show as oil and will separate from diesel oil on retort. Example: If there is 3% diesel in a system and 2% S.O. Lube 1000, a 5% oil content will show in the mud. S.O. LUBE 1000TM will be on top of the diesel and a shade darker color

S.O. LUBE 1000TM passes the Static Sheen Test preformed on the rigs


S.O. LUBE 1000TM has proven many times in different mud systems to increase rate of penetration when 3% - 6% is added to mud system, no matter the type of bit that is in the hole.
