    VERSATROL

    Asphaltic resin
    APPLICATIONS VERSATROL resin is a naturally occurring asphalt used for HPHT filtration control in oil-based muds
    ■■ HPHT filtration control in oil-based mud and often used to seal low-pressure and depleted formations. It is compatible with all VERSA systems
    and can be used in the initial formulation or added later.
    ADVANTAGES
    ■■ Reduces HPHT fluid loss in all VERSATROL resin helps improve the overall emulsion stability, thermal stability, and suspension
    VERSA* oil-based drilling fluid systems characteristics of most oil-based formulations. VERSATROL resin also increases viscosity, especially
    ■■ Enhances emulsion and thermal stability at lower temperatures due to its partial solubility.
    of oil-based muds Typical concentrations range from 2 to 8 lbm/bbl [5.7 to 23 kg/m3], with occasional daily additions
    ■■ Effective at temperatures up to 350F in the ange of 0.25 to 0.5 lbm/bbl [0.71 to 1.43 kg/m3]. High-temperature situations and special
    [177 degC] applications require higher concentrations, as much as 10 lbm/bbl [29 kg/m3].
    ■■ Increases viscosity
    When used in the initial formulation, it is recommended to add VERSATROL resin last. For existing
    LIMITATIONS systems, the product can be added at any time, mixed slowly during at least one complete circulation.
    ■■ Environmental restrictions concerning the Monitor solids control equipment for several circulations to ensure product is not discarded. Pilot
    use of oils and oil-based fluids should be testing is advised to determine the necessary treatment to achieve the desired results and to observe
    considered since VERSATROL* asphaltic the change in mud properties.
    resin is used in conjunction with oil
    Toxicity and handling
    ■■ Not for use in Gulf of Mexico Bioassay information is available upon request.

    Handle as an industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions
    described in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
