Exceptional drilling fluid lubricity using SUN’s PAO technology
CoastaLube is a high-performance drilling fluid lubricant for water-based drilling systems, utilizing a polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic hydrocarbon base. SUN’S CoastaLube is a U.S. EPA acceptable, environmentally safe lubricity additive with a secondary function of wellbore stability and shale inhibition. PAOs are synthetic and contain no aromatics or the adverse properties of traditional mineral and diesel oils.
CoastaLube enhances the performance of drilling mud in low-pressure situations by coating the formation and drill string as well as acting as a boundary layer lubricant in high temperature and pressure applications. CoastaLube is readily dispersible and compatible with fresh and saltwater-based systems.
CoastaLube has proven successful in solving problems relating to angle building, angle dropping, kick-off point difficulties, and mud motor drag.
