Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is a widely available commercial chemical that can be used as a weighting agent to increase fluid density up to 1.2sg (10lb / gal). It is predominately used for formulating clear, solid free work-over and completion fluids. Sodium chloride can also provide inhibition to formations containing water sensitive clays and shales.

AMC TUBE LUBE™ is produced from processed linseed and contains no harsh chemicals or hydrocarbon based ingredients. AMC TUBE LUBE™ has been developed to enable the core sample to enter and slide more easily into the inner tube promoting longer runs through fractured broken formations. AMC TUBE LUBE™ will protect and improve the life of the inner tube, is water soluble and will not stain the core.
AMC VIS GEL™ is a blend of sodium bentonite and polymers, finely ground and processed to ensure ease of mixing, superior plastering qualities and high gel strengths when horizontal boring.
CALCIUM CHLORIDE is a salt used to create solids free brine workover and completion fluids. It can be used to prepare weighted drilling fluids where formation pressures require densities ranging from 1.02 – 1.40sg (8.5 – 11.7lb / bbl). In combination with CALCIUM BROMIDE, CALCIUM CHLORIDE achieves densities up to 1.8sg (15lb / bbl).
