GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Introducing RiDrill WS-1, a dual mechanism wellbore strengthener. This innovative design allows for lower Equivalent Circulation Densities without compromising stability or strength. Besides its mechanical enhancements, RiDrill WS-1 boasts an innovative secondary matrix that promotes strengthening on a whole new level for unparalleled performance at temps up to 350°F+ (177 °C+).

Other Names & Identifiers
  • Lost circulation material
  • LCM
  • wellbore strengthening additive
  • fracture sealing agent
  • stress cage material
  • fracture plugging material
  • loss prevention material
  • formation strengthening additive

APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS

APPLICATIONS

APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS
  • Primary operations with Brine, WBM, or OBM
  • Combine with Riteks LCM’s (RadiLock 3mm, Legion-LCM, Saber-LCM, or
  • Arsenal-LCM) to treat severe losses
  • Has substantial benefits for strengthening weak or depleted zones

FEATURES & ADVANTAGES

APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS
  • Creates low permeability membrane across formation to strengthen
  • wellbore and mitigates losses
  • Helps achieve and maintain drilling objectives while strengthening
    formations, and aids in prevention of gas migration
  • Customizable rheology with excellent compatibility and elevated
    temperature stability (350°F+/ 177°C+)
  • Compatible with most muds
  • Enhances hole cleaning, and improves fracture gradients of formations
