Drilling Fluid Lubricant Meets - Ultimate Biodegradability RequirementsProOne delivers ultimate biodegradability without drop in performance. ProOne drilling fluid lubricant (DFL) for downhole oil and gas applications is green as well as outperforming any other lubrication solution.
By: ProOne, Inc. Oct. 31, 2012 - PRLog -- Costa Mesa, California -- ProOne, Inc. announces today that its drilling fluid lubricant is both readily and ultimately biodegradable as defined by stringent international standards. The biodegradability of materials used in drilling fluids is a significant issue in terms of water and environmental contamination risks, site remediation costs and waste disposal. In addition to being biodegradable, ProOne™ drilling fluid lubricant is also non-toxic to aquatic life, as the company recently announced.
“This certification of ‘ultimate biodegradability’ Biodegradability refers to the time and completeness with which a substance breaks down into the basic elements of water and carbon dioxide in the environment. Tested in accordance with OECD 301B standards, ProOne’s drilling fluid lubricant met and exceeded the “Readily Biodegradable” Importantly, there is no tradeoff in performance just because the product is earth-friendly. Compatible with water-based muds (WBM), oil-based muds (OBM) and brines, this breakthrough product offers the industry unparalleled lubricity as well as torque and drag reduction. When added to water-based muds (WBM), performance exceeds that of oil-based muds (OBM). Additionally, the mud that it is mixed in can be contained and moved from rig to rig without storage problems. “Providing the oil and gas industry a drilling lubricant that offers unsurpassed friction reduction, reduces drilling costs and is earth friendly in any type of mud, has always been our goal,” said Tim Wagner, ProOne’s CTO. “In well after well, operators have seen significant torque reduction and increased penetration rates using our lubricant. Having now passed the biodegradability and toxicity testing with flying colors, ProOne lubricant will help operators reduce environmental risks and cleanup costs as well as drilling costs in all areas.” About ProOne: Based in Orange County, California, ProOne, Inc.
