Product Description

SHALEMUL^® S emulsifier is a liquid blend of modified tall oil derivatives. It is used in invert emulsifier systems as a secondary emulsifier for SHALEDRIL™diesel or mineral oil-based drilling fluid system specially applied in shale gas and tight oil blocks. It is designed to emulsify water into oil and to aid in oil-wetting of drill solids. When SHALEMUL^® S is used conjunction with SHALEMUL^® P, high temperature stable invert emulsions with low filtrate rates will be obtained. SHALEMUL^® S does not require additions of lime.
