Drilling Efficiency Takes A New Form

Encapso™ drilling lubricant is a major step-change in the evolution of downhole lubricant delivery and is transforming the way operators fight friction - resulting in superior drilling efficiency and economics.

Innovative

• Encapso™ has a unique encapsulated design unlike any other product available
• Encapso™ is custom engineered to improve upon traditional fluids conditioners in both aqueous and non-aqueous fluid
• Encapso™ is composed of 5 - 10 microns capsules containing pure, algae-based lubricating oil
• These capsules are made of polysaccharides and natural emulsifiers, keeping the product’s high-grade lubricant contained until needed

 Efficient

• When Encapso™ is exposed to sufficient operational friction and shear, the cells rupture, releasing oil on demand
• Unused capsules stay in the mud system until they are needed
• Active-engagement of drilling lubrication system improves lubricity along the entire drill string and bit

 Benefits

• Lubricant released only when needed
• Superior metal on metal lubricity
• Works equally well in oil based, water based, and high salt / divalent brines
• Fluid loss reduction
• Enhances rheology
• Environmentally friendly – non-toxic, biodegradable

 Proven Performance

• Encapso™ has been tested at a number of wells throughout the U.S., Middle East and Latin America proving its ability to improve overall efficiency over traditional methods
• Reduces friction, torque and drag
• Reduces fluid loss
• Increases the rate of penetration (ROP)
• Raises yield point
