RodLube
Lubricant for Tooling, Rods, and Other Wearable Items
RodLube is used to keep tooling, rods, and other wearable items utilized in horizontal drilling operations lubricated. Providing lubrication for rotating and/or moving parts can lead to improved ROP (Rate of Penetration), longer tooling/bit life, and increased machine efficiency. RodLube is environmentally friendly, and can be utilized in both bentonite and polymeric based blends.
MIXING & APPLICATION
RodLube should be the last additive mixed into a tank of drilling fluid. RodLube has a high affinity for metals, and even at low treatment dosages will be an effective lubricant. Providing lubrication in drilling operations can have multiple benefits:
- Improved drilling efficiency
- Rotational and directional torque reduction
- Extension of tooling and bit life
- Increased ROPs
Mixes per 500 Gallons
- Starting Point recommended to be 0.5 gallons (1 EZ Bag or Bottle) per 500 gallons
- Dosage can be increased up to 1-1.5% of the fluid system if needed
PACKAGING
RodLube is packaged into either pre-dosed 1/2 gallon EZBs (EZ Bags or Bottles—10 per case), 5 gallon buckets, or 275-gallon IBC Totes.
