ID-CLIG
ID-CLIG chrome lignite is a specially formulated product designed for use as a thinner, fluid stabilizer and fluid-
loss-reducing agent in all water-base muds. It is an excellent additive for HTHP filtration control and
rheological stabilization for muds subjected to high temperatures.
Application
ID-CLIG agent is used in water-based muds to reduce viscosity, increase rheological stability and improve
filtration control. The effect of ID-CLIG agent is most dramatic in fluids exposed to higher temperatures. ID-
CLIG agent can be applied to muds of any salinity, from fresh to saturated-salt, as well as to lime and gyp
muds. For saturated-salt or low pH mud systems, presolubilize ID-CLIG agent in a lower-salinity high-pH fluid.
ID-CLIG agent may be added to the system through the mixing hopper. Depending on viscosity and fluid-loss
3
requirements, 1 to 6 lb/bbl (2.85 to 17.1 kg/m ) may be required. Improved HTHP filtration control and
rheological stability under adverse conditions, such as high temperatures, may require greater concentrations.
For improved mud system and product performance, the pH should be maintained at 9.5 or greater.
Advantages
Handle as an industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions as described in
the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
