Drilling Detergent

PZT-DD-1 drilling detergent is a surfactant blend formulated for use in water-based drilling mud. It reduces the interfacial/surface tension of the drilling fluid, improving wetting of cuttings and bit surfaces and helping dislodge sticky, reactive clay from the bit face and bottom-hole assembly. Improves rate of penetration indirectly by keeping the bit clean, and improves solids-control screen efficiency by reducing cuttings' tendency to mat together at the shale shakers.

Use Cases & Applications
  • Preventing bit balling in reactive clay/shale sections
  • General cleaning/dispersion aid for cuttings arriving at the shale shakers
Pros
  • Low treatment cost for a meaningful efficiency gain
  • Compatible with most WBM systems
Cons & Limitations
  • Can foam the mud system if overdosed, complicating pump priming and solids control
  • Can interact with other surfactant-based additives (SOBM emulsifiers/wetting agents) if systems get mixed carelessly
