TERRADRIL® EM Emulsifiers for Oil-based Mud Applications
TERRADRIL® EM invert mud emulsifiers, which are based on esters derived from natural resources, are ideal for use in drilling applications to lower interfacial gravity and enable a liquid to form a stable, homogeneous emulsion of fine droplets.
Emery's TERRADRIL® EM brand products offer the following benefits:
- increased emulsion stability
- reduced water wetting tendency of insoluble solids
- rheological stability
- reduced high temperature, high pressure (HTHP) fluid loss
In response to increasingly demanding global oil and gas exploration activities, Emery's emulsifiers are used to drill reactive geological formations and make it possible to drill highly-deviated wells where borehole stability, lubricity and benign ecological properties are essential. Their unique ecotoxicological properties have dramatically reduced the impact of the drilling fluid on marine environments, even allowing the disposal of drilled cuttings on the sea floor with a clear conscience.
