DRILL VERT is an invert mud primary emulsifier based upon a formulation containing glyceride and fatty acids. It is designed to improve the oil wettability of drilling solids and increase the stability of the oil mud by primary emulsification between the liquid phases. It assists the performance of the invert emulsifiers by encircling each solids particle with an oil layer, and hence preventing emulsion break down due to solids water wetting, thereby keeping stability high.

DRILL VERT should be applied as a primary emulsifier to provide mud stability (as measured by fluid loss and ESV reading).

The levels of DRILL VERT used is a function of the required performance in terms of temperature, but as a rule 6 - 8 lbs. per barrel is sufficient to give stable emulsion and provide a good base for the secondary emulsifier to do the fine tuning.

The use of DRILL VERT will provide the stability of the mud, and tighten the control of the fluid loss, as well as imparting high oil wetting ability. When drilling through magnesium formation, the use of an emulsifier for the DRILL MUL range is required to give stable fluid properties under bottom hole conditions.

DRILL VERT is ideally suited for use in 60/40 mud systems because it controls the massive increases in yield and gel structure, which are symptomatic of this type of mud system. In this situation DRILL VERT is used in the range of 6 to 8 lbs./barrel fluids, and supplemented with a secondary emulsifier at the range of 2 to 4 lbs./barrel.

When handling DRILL VERT always uses protective eyewear and clothing. In the case of eye contact wash with copious amounts of water and seek medical attention.

In the case of skin contact, wash affected area with soap and water, remove any contaminated clothing.
