Fiber hole cleaning additive
Almost like running a pig in a pipeline
SunSweep drilling fluid additive is a superior hole-cleaning agent that transports drill cuttings, metal shavings, and other debris out of the wellbore. A proprietary treated polymerized synthetic fiber, SunSweep disperses easily in the fluid and exhibits excellent suspension qualities without adversely affecting any drilling fluid properties.
Compatible for use in all drilling fluids
Increases carrying capacity of drilling fluid
Disturbs and removes cuttings beds
Lifts and carries metal-shavings debris out of the hole during milling operations
Faster than mixing gel/polymer sweeps
Mixes quickly through rig mud-mixing hoppers
Proper hole cleaning reduces torque and drag
Enhances the rate of penetration
Helps minimize wiper trips
Non-toxic & Chemically inert
No effect on fluid LC50
No effect on overall fluid viscosity
Will not plug MWDs or mud motors when mixed as recommended
Pill or Sweep: Mix through rig mud hopper at 0.25 to 0.50 pounds/bbl (0.71 to 1.43 kilograms/m3)
Mud motor and MWD applications: 0.10 to 0.15 pounds/bbl (0.28 to 0.43 kilograms/m3)

Testimonials
The Dakota Sand was taking mud at rates of about 50 bbls per hour. We made an 80 bbl pill of cedar fibers with about
1.25 ppb of SunSweep and circulated the pill. The hole began to heal. We pumped several of these pills and the losses stopped and we finished well. I want to have SUN Sweep on all my wells.

We ran a pill of SunSweep in a 10.0 ppg brine to clean hole of sand and fine solids. When the shaker unloaded it made a believer out of me and the engineer.
