Oilfield chemicals > for the drilling process
BTC offers the complete spectrum of BASF’s drilling fluid additives that fulfil the role of enhancing and supporting most drilling operations. Mainly thinners and viscosifiers are applied to controle the flow behaviour of the drilling fluid. BTC’s mining chemicals have additional properties, allowing to optimize the drilling process.
Brands
Alcomer®, Basoclean®, Basocorr® , Basodrill®, Basogan®, Basopur®, Basopeg®, Basoplur®, Basosol®, Basotron®, DC-150, Myacide®, Polydrill®, Polythin®, Protectol®
Properties
The BTC range of drilling fluid additives comprises mainly chemicals for drilling fluid systems based on water. They are high performing, contamination tolerant and temperature stable.
Biocides
Protectol® and Myacide® are Glutaraldehydes which serve the purpose of regulating microbial growth in water based muds.
Inhibitors
Basocorr® types are a special class of corrosion inhibitors that support drilling under acidic and high temperature conditions.
Flocculants / Clean-up
Successfully drilled wellbores are cleaned up after the fact with BTC’s Alcomer® flocculants.
Cleaning agents
Basoclean® and Basosol® are efficient cleaning agents to clean the drilling equipment.
Fluid loss additives
Polydrill® and Alcomer® are applied to minimize the loss of water from the drilling fluid to the formation.
Shale inhibitors
Basodrill® and Alcomer® are used to prevent shale from swelling.
Applications
BTC’s oilfield chemicals cover the complete spectrum of applications requested by the oilfield industry for the drilling process.
