Id-Flo T

ID-FLO T is a tan granular powder used to provide filtration control and rheology stability in water-based drilling fluids. It is effective in a wide range of water types, including high-salinity brines. ID-FLO T reduces fluid loss and increases viscosity in drilling muds through encapsulating particles with a protective polymer coating. Treatment levels typically range from 2 to 6 lb/bbl depending on water chemistry and desired fluid properties. The product provides wellbore stability through filtration control and minimizes filtration damage to production zones.

PRODUCT BULLETIN

ID-FLO T
ID-FLO T is used to provide filtration control and rheology stability in all types of water-base drilling fluids. This
non-ionic, natural polymer is effective in all makeup waters, including high-salinity and high-hardness brines
such as NaCl, KCl, MgCl2 and complex brines.

Typical Physical Properties

Physical appearance Tan granular powder


Specific gravity 1.5
pH (4% solution) 5.0-7.0

Application

ID-FLO T polymer is designed to reduce fluid loss and increase viscosity in all water-base muds. It is especially
applicable and economical in saturated-salt and brine systems where other products are not effective. This
includes clear brines used during worker over and completion operations.
ID-FLO T additive encapsulates particles with a protective polymer coating to function as a protective colloid. It
is effective as a drilling-fluid stabilizer, as well as fluid-loss reducer, when evaporate formations such as
anhydrite or salt must be drilled and when drilling hydratable shales.
Normal treatment ranges from 2 to 6 lb/bbl (5.7 to 17.1 kg/m3) ID-FLO T additive depending on the makeup
water chemistry and desired fluid loss. Treatment of 2 to 3 lb/bbl (5.7 to 8.6 kg/m3) usually reduce API fluid
loss values to 6 to 8-mL ranges in freshwater mud systems. High concentrations are required for comparable
results in brine systems.
ID-FLO T additive is sensitive to high solids, and it function best in clean, low-solids mud systems. For this
reason, the drill-solids concentrations should be controlled at optimum values.

Advantages

• Effective in wide range of makeup waters, including high-salinity, high-hardness brines


• Minimizes filtration damage to production zones.
• Provide wellbore stability through filtration control and encapsulation.
• Performs satisfactorily over a wide pH range.

Toxicity and Handling

Handle as an industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions as described in
the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Packing and Storage

ID-FLO T is packaged in a 25 kg (55 lb), multi-wall, paper sacks.


Store at moderate temperature in a dry, well-ventilated area.
