BAROID® 41

Helps increase drilling fluid density up to 21 lbs/gal (2.4 sg). Helps control formation pressures. Helps stabilize the borehole.

High quality, free from corrosive and abrasive material. Chemically inert. Cost-effective weighting agent.

• Before adding BAROID® 41 weighting material, the Marsh Funnel viscosity (sec/qt) of the circulating fluid should be increased to four times the desired final weight by the addition of AQUAGEL® or QUIK-GEL® additives
• Add BAROID® 41 material through a high shear mixer so the entire circulating volume is at uniform weight
• To control an artesian flow at the surface, premix the necessary volume of weighted mud and apply in one continuous operation

NOTE: In near surface holes drilled in unconsolidated alluvium (overburden), weights in excess of 11 lbs/gal (1.32 sg) could result in loss of circulation.

_{The above are generalized concentrations of BAROID® 41 weighting material to be added to fresh-water based drilling fluids. The ultimate usage concentration will be based on subsurface pressures encountered, application and mixing efficiency.
