surfactants, blended with a sodium acid pyrophosphate. SAPP
Sticks will perform in the presence of salt, or in fresh water systems.
USES
& ADVANTAGES
SAPP Sticks
are primarily designed as a mud thinner/dispersant. However, other advantages that have been
realized from the use of SAPP Sticks
include;
●
Decreased wear on shaker screen due to thinner mud
●
Friction Reducer
● Helps prevent the formation of “mud rings”
●
Helps prevent bit balling
●
Calcium Inhibitor
● Ph

TREATMENT
PROCEEDURE
The number of SAPP
Sticks to be used varies from one drilling operation to the other. The weight of mud, drilling depth and water
weight can affect the number of sticks to be dropped. Field test indicates the best results are
achieved under normal drilling operations when 1 to 2 (11/4x15) sticks were
dropped to each joint of drill stem added.
The amount recommended is based on past
field test and operating under normal drilling operations and
procedures. To determine the optimum
amount of sticks required for periodic treatments, you may choose to
gradually increase or decrease the number of sticks until the most economical
treatment point is reached.
As with all industrial chemicals, contact
with eyes or skin should be avoided.
Wash thoroughly with water.
Sticks should be stored in a cool dry place. Always remove stick from plastic bag or cardboard
tube before using. Bag or tube can be
used as a glove to avoid contact with hands.
