DRILL BIT STICK
DRILL BIT STICKS are condensate-dispersible water-soluble sticks containing a combination of surfactants and friction reducer. DRILL BIT STICKS will perform in the presence of salt and fresh water systems.
DRILL BIT STICKS are primarily recommended for use to increase the drilling efficiency and life of the drill bits. The slick coating and foaming action increases the efficiency of the drilling process by preventing the clays from sticking and balling up on the drill bit while drilling operations are going on. This same slick coating and foaming action will also help prevent the jets on the drill bit from plugging, therefore optimizing mud and cutting returns to the surface and improving drill bit penetration into the ground formations
DRILL BIT STICKS can be used to increase the swabbing efficiency and life of swab cups. The slick coating along with the foaming action increases efficiency and life of the swab cups and allows the well to flow easier. The perforations are often cleaned as a result of the surfactants and swabbing action. DRILL BIT STICKS can be used to remove fluid from gas-condensate wells and flowing oil wells, however Aqua Foam has a broad range of sticks specifically designed for the procedure. For gas-condensate wells with more that 75% condensate, it is recommended to use Aqua Foam AF-BLUE CONDENSATE STICKS.
DRILL BIT STICKS are an economical way of improving the efficiency of drilling operations by keeping the drill bit clean of debris and improving mud and drill cutting returns to the surface. Drill bit penetration into the ground formations will also increase due to bit and jets remaining clean of debris. The number of DRILL BIT STICKS to be used varies from drilling operations to the other. The weight of mud, drilling depth and water weight can also affect the number of sticks to be dropped
The most common procedure is to drop the specified number of sticks to be dropped from the chart each time an additional joint of drill stem is added to the drill string in the drilling operation. As the fluid moves down the hole the surfactants and friction reducer will dissolved and penetrate the drilling fluids and slick up the metal surfaces. It is important to add the desired volume of sticks each time a new joint of drill stem is added to the string to maintain the slick film on the metal surfaces.
