PBS Plug® System
DESCRIPTION
PBS Plug is a surface-mixed, pumpable plugging material, formulated to provide a rigid crosslinked gel structure. PBS Plug 500
and PBS Plug 2000 contain sized particles of borate-containing minerals and special polymers which provide formulating
flexibility to meet various formation requirements in lost circulation applications. PBS Plug Activator a salt/magnesia compound,
serves as a crosslink catalyst when mixed with PBS Plug. Also, calcium chloride may be used as a secondary accelerator in coldwater applications, or to increase rigidity of the plug. The polymers in the base product add viscosity and filtration control and are crosslinked by the borate anion in the sparingly water-soluble borate. The catalysts initiate the crosslink reaction by raising the pH
and salinity of the fresh water mixture. This reaction is accelerated by the normally higher temperature in the wellbore. PBS Plug
Retarder and PBS Plug Activator-E are used to delay the set, increase the available pumping time, and broaden the window of
possible applications. PBS Plug Activator-E is especially useful for mixes where the base water is above 100° F. PBS Plug
products are packaged in 25 kg sacks.
APPLICATIONS
PBS Plug is a unique system whose main application is the control of lost circulation. The combination of PBS Plug and PBS
Plug Activator satisfies the requirements for the majority of extreme lost circulation situations where anything from induced
fractures to total losses are experienced. The final consistency of the PBS Plug also allows it to be easily drilled after the
chemical setting reaction has been completed. Calcium chloride may also be added as a secondary accelerator to modify the PBS Plug shear strength for the following applications:
Open hole cement retainer
Pre-cement pad
Profile modification
Formation consolidating gel
The base density for 100 lb/bbl of PBS-Plug is 10.1 lb/gal but weights up to 17.0 lb/gal can be achieved with the addition of barite
or other inert weighting material.
ADVANTAGES
PBS Plug offers the following advantages:
Provides excellent fluid loss control
Seals high permeability and fractured formations
Does not shrink
Exhibits high shear strength
Bonds tightly to the formation
Can be spotted through mud motors and bit nozzles
Utilizes standard mixing equipment

Sanheal Pill System
DESCRIPTION
Sanheal Pill is a blend of hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) with other polymers and sized calcium carbonates, stabilized to prevent
degradation by bacteria and temperature. All components are soluble in 15% hydrochloric acid. Sanheal Pill is packaged in 50 lb
or 25 kg sacks.
BASE FLUIDS
Sanheal Pill may be used in fresh water, sea water, produced brine, and sodium or calcium chloride brines.
APPLICATIONS
Sanheal Pill is used as a pill for spotting across lost circulation zones. The typical concentration of Sanheal Pill is 50 lb/bbl of
base fluid. The volume of the pill will vary according to the length of the lost circulation zone, severity of lost circulation, and hole size, but should be twice the volume required to cover the problem zone.
Severe or complete lost circulation may require the addition of larger bridging particles. Sluggits (bridging carbonates) with a fine
to coarse particle distribution may be added in concentrations of 10 to 75 lb/bbl.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Use a pump truck equipped with a hopper or clean mixing tank with at least one sub-surface gun and a standard mud hopper. Add Sanheal Pill through a hopper at the rate of one sack per 3-5 minutes. Continue to circulate for at least 30 minutes before placing downhole.
NON-DAMAGING
Sanheal Pill has been demonstrated in the laboratory and the field to be essentially non-damaging. The filter cake formed in using Sanheal Pill may be removed by treating with 15% hydrochloric acid.

Ultra Breake M
DESCRIPTION
Ultra Breake M is an internal filter cake breaker additive for polymer based drilling, completion, or workover fluids. Ultra Breake M
serves first as a fine, inert particle in alkaline brine, solids-laden systems where it subsequently is deposited as an integral part of
the filter cake. Secondly, to initiate filter cake removal, a mild acidic soak solution is used to dissolve and activate the Ultra Breake
M providing a multiple phase degradation process. Acid hydrolysis by the soak solution, generation of oxygen from the Ultra
Breake M, and secondary formation of radicals provide an effective mechanism for polymer de-polymerization. Packaging is in 50
lb fiber drums.
FEATURES
Improves filter cake removal in completion operations, especially at temperatures below 190oF
Can be used in any alkaline water base fluid containing one or more polysaccharide polymers
ADVANTAGES
Reduces the time required for polymer degradation by 60% or more
Does not adversely affect the rheological properties of a Thixsal-Ultra® system
Weak acid, i.e. 1% HCI, can be used to activate Ultra Breake M reducing the risk of corrosion from the more concentrated
acids typically used

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Boreclean®
Clay removal additive for filter cakes in open-hole/screen completions
DESCRIPTION
Boreclean is an acidified polyethylene glycol mixed in brine. Exposure of deposited clay drill solids to this solution during the
completion phase after the polymer fraction of the filter cake has been chemically degraded improves overall filter cake removal.
Preferential adsorption of the polyglycol and displacement of water from the clay surfaces lessens stickiness, surface adherence,
and subsequently aids in circulation of these particles from the borehole, prior to producing the well. This reduces the potential for
filter cake insolubles to become entrained in a sand exclusion assembly and limit reservoir production.
Boreclean is packaged in 50 lb or 25 kg sacks.
APPLICATIONS
Boreclean may be utilized as part of a completion sequence utilized to break filter cake polymers, attack clay solids, and dissolve
primary bridging solids. A typical procedure includes:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Polymer breaker solution
Brine spacer

A shale stability index (SSI) was developed as a relative measure of shale hardness as a function of water absorbed for various
drilling fluids. The higher the SSI number, the less water uptake by the shale samples, and predictably the more stable the
wellbore in drilling shale sections with the fluid. (See graph above).

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Thermasal™
A high temperature stabilizer for polymer suspensions
DESCRIPTION
Thermasal is a two component thermal extender for most polymer based drilling, completion and workover fluids. Two primary
mechanisms for polymer degradation (exemplified by rapid decrease in fluid viscosity) are: 1. Oxidation reduction reactions
resulting in free radical formation, and 2. Acid hydrolysis. Thermasal is designed to prevent these reactions with a synergistic
blend of a reducing agent to retard the formation, at elevated temperatures, of free radicals and an alkaline earth oxide to buffer
pH.
The two components of Thermasal are:
Thermasal-A- an anhydrous salt antioxidant. (Packaged in 50 lb cans)
Thermasal-B- a fine grind magnesia compound. (Packaged in 50 lb or 25 kg sacks)
Thermasal may be used in brines such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium bromide, sodium formate, potassium
formate, and cesium formate.
APPLICATIONS
Thermasal provides stabilized rheological and filtration properties at temperatures above 250°F for polymer suspensions which are formulated with sized, bridging and/or weighting solids. The addition of Thermasal to brine systems containing sized calcium
carbonate or sodium chloride particles extends the thermal limit to 300°F and 325°F, respectively.
