SMEG lubricating additive

SMEG lubricating additive for drilling fluids is a mixture of vegetable and mineral oils (including used oils) modified with glycols and other technological components.
SMEG lubricating additive is available in several modifications depending on the purpose and composition:• SMEG-1 is a mixture of mineral distillate and residual base oils. Special modifying additives are introduced in the reagent to improve its performance characteristics. SMEG-1 reagent is effective in freshwater clay suspensions characterized by moderate solid phase content.• SMEG-3 is a composition of vegetable oils and their distilled hydrolysis products. The reagent is most effective in inhibited biopolymer fluids.• SMEG-4 is a composition of higher fatty acids of vegetable origin, residual base oils and special modifying additives designed for water-based drilling fluids.• SMEG-5 is a multi-purpose lubricating additive that effectively improves lubricating properties of weighted drilling fluids prepared both on fresh and high-mineralized water.• SMEG-6 reagent is a multi-purpose lubricating additive that can be used in all types of drilling fluids, including non-aqueous based fluids. Treatment of drilling fluids with SMEG-6 significantly reduces the probability of drilling tool and/or casing seizure. The reagent can be used as a component of anti-seize oil bath fluids. The SMEG reagent shall meet the requirements and standards specified in the table below.

Application and treatment

For optimal results, SMEG is added to the drilling fluid directly through the cycle. To achieve the required effect, the lubricating additive consumption is 0.5-2%. SMEG reagent is compatible with all types of drilling fluids.

 

Packaging

SMEG lubricating additive is supplied in 170-200 kg steel drums (depending on the grade).
