    SALT GEL is an attapulgite clay used as a viscosifier in salt water drilling fluids where other clays are not effective. It yields viscosity through shearing the clay into rigid rods that form an open mesh. Adding 15 pounds per barrel of SALT GEL to a brine system develops a funnel viscosity of 34 to 36 seconds per quart. Filtration control requires adding additional materials like starch. SALT GEL is packaged in 50 pound multiwall bags and provides viscosity in saturated or high temperature brine systems without affecting viscosity.

    Viscosifier

    SALT GEL

    Description

    SALT GEL is an attapulgite clay used for viscosity in salt water drilling
    fluids where GEO GEL is not appropriate/effective.

    Uses

    SALT GEL is an effective viscosifier for fresh to saturated salt water


    drilling fluids. SALT GEL may be used in a high solids, high fluid loss
    lost circulation squeeze. SALT GEL meets or exceeds all API
    specifications for attapulgite clay.

    Benefits

    SALT GEL is used primarily to obtain viscosity in saturated or near


    saturated brine systems. SALT GEL may also be utilized in high
    temperature drilling fluids to provide viscosity unaffected by high
    temperature flocculation. A concentration of 20 ppb SALT GEL in
    saturated saltwater will yield a minimum viscosity of 15 centipoise.
    Maximum yield is dependant on efficient mixing and agitation.

    Treatment

    Addition of 15 ppb of SALT GEL to a brine system will develop a funnel


    viscosity of 34 to 36 sec/qt. Filtration control requires the addition of
    STARCH, STARLOSE, or (DRILLPAC).

    Function

    SALT GEL yields by shearing the clay into rigid rods which form an
    open mesh. There is no inherent filtration control from this form of clay.
