SUPER-SWEEP FINE® Fiber Hole Cleaning Agent

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

FORTA SUPER-SWEEP FINE is a specially-treated 100% virgin synthetic fiber that is multi-functional in the drilling arena. Like the original SUPER-SWEEP® fiber, SUPER-SWEEP FINE enhances the carrying capacity of drilling fluids when mixed and distributed, without increasing the fluid’s viscosity. This shorter and finer fiber version may also relieve concerns when using down-hole tools and for horizontal drilling applications. In addition, SUPER-SWEEP FINE has proven to be dry-blendable with cement at recommended dosages, and acts as an excellent LCM – Lost Circulation Material – for cementing applications. SUPER-SWEEP FINE fiber is non-corrosive, non-magnetic, chemically inert, and temperature stable in the designated applications.

APPLICATIONS

FORTA SUPER-SWEEP FINE is a multi-purpose fiber, used to clear debris from drilling fluids and lead cement, and/or act as a cohesive LCM binder in cement. The fiber’s ability to uniformly mix and suspend in these dry or wet mediums creates a variety of benefit areas, while remaining manageable and user-friendly in the process. When used in cement, additional hardened properties are also contributed by the fiber to enhance tensile and compressive strengths, toughness, and ductility

INSTALLATION

FORTA SUPER-SWEEP FINE® is easily added and mixed in both fluid and cement at various concentration levels, depending on the level of LCM or suspension results desired. As a hole-cleaning agent in drilling fluid, concentrations range from 1/4 to 1/2 lbs. per barrel of fluid. As a cement LCM additive, dosages of 1/8 to 1/2 lbs. per sack of cement are possible without related concerns of plugging or balling. When used as a sweep application, the fiber and cuttings and/or millings are removed by the shaker or discharged to the reserve pit

SPECIFICATION
