BlacKnite
SUN Specialty Products
BlacKnite drilling fluid additive performs greater than the sum of its parts. This “original & patented” multi-sized particle, multi-blended dispersed coupled gilsonite, lignite, and carbon black in a proprietary formulated glycol-based liquid that has a primary function to prevent stuck pipe, reduce fluid loss and create a borehole condition that is not only stable but stronger with exceptional HPHT fluid loss control. BlacKnite drilling fluid additive provides exceptional performance whether you are drilling the horizontal shale plays or the tectonic fractures of Colombia.
BlacKnite can be mixed directly in mud systems. Additions of BlacKnite are best accomplished by adding the product directly to the suction tank or through the rig hopper; however, the product can be added as a chemical pre-mix when necessary. Concentrations of 1-3% (depending on mud density) are sufficient for borehole stability, HPHT rheology control, and HPHT filtrate reduction and assist in inhibition.
* Improved filter cake texture and compaction
* Enhances borehole stability
* Provides broad PSD for micro-fracture sealing
* Assists in sealing depleted formations
* Aids in reactive shale stability
* Enhances rheology control
* Non-toxic
* Environmentally safe
* Non-sheening
* Compatible with most water based fluids
ResiFlex
SUN Specialty Products
It is designed to control wellbore circulating losses and partial seepage losses of drilling fluids in the active mud system. The angular shape, sizing, and durability of ResiFlex makes it an excellent choice as a pre-treatment in highly depleted zones. ResiFlex is chemically inert and compatible in all drilling fluids. It has the additional benefit of providing solid lubrication to the wellbore to reduce torque & drag, and improve sliding.
Compressibility and rebound characteristics are excellent, ranging from 87% to 92.3% depending on initial size. This enables ResiFlex to be squeezed into pore throats and wellbore fractures and remains in place forming a pressure seal to protect against further fluid loss.
* Compatible in all drilling fluids
* Mixes quickly through rig mud hopper
* Chemically inert
* No effect on system fluid properties
* Will not plug MWD or Mud Motors when mixed as recommended
* No effect on LC50 value of an active fluid system
* Excellent sealing and bridging properties
* Strengthens fractured and porous formations
EZE-Slide
SUN Specialty Products
EZE-Slide drilling fluid additive is a non-sheening, oil-soluble lubricant with an extremely high attraction to metal surfaces. This polar attraction increases the efficiency of EZE-Slide as it initially adheres to metal instead of other surfaces such as drill solids. This metal affinity permits coil tubing and drill pipe to coat much quicker than standard water-soluble lubricants, allowing for a more effective and efficient lubricating process.
EZE-Slide was created to reduce the coefficient of friction that exists between the coil tubing and the casing or the drilling assembly and the wellbore and casing. EZE-Slide reduces weight stacking in highly deviated wellbores, allowing the transfer of more weight to the bit. This increases ROP, decreases torque and drag and minimizes problems tripping in and out of the hole in drilling, workover and coiled tubing operations.
SunSweep
SUN Specialty Products
SunSweep drilling fluid additive is a superior hole-cleaning agent that transports drill cuttings, metal shavings, and other debris out of the wellbore. A proprietary treated polymerized synthetic fiber, SunSweep disperses easily in the fluid and exhibits excellent suspension qualities without adversely affecting any drilling fluid properties.
* Compatible for use in all drilling fluids
* Increases carrying capacity of drilling fluid
* Disturbs and removes cuttings beds
* Lifts and carries metal-shavings debris out of the hole during milling operations
* Faster than mixing gel/polymer sweeps
* Mixes quickly through rig mud-mixing hoppers
* Proper hole cleaning reduces torque and drag
* Enhances the rate of penetration
* Helps minimize wiper trips
* Non-toxic & Chemically inert
* No effect on fluid LC50
* No effect on overall fluid viscosity
* Will not plug MWDs or mud motors when mixed as recommended
Lubra-Glide
SUN Specialty Products
Lubra-Glide CE Co-Polymer Beads are spherical solid beads that provide mechanical lubrication, significantly reducing drill string wear and casing wear prevention through standoff and impact absorption.
* Reduces torque and drag
* Recoverable using SUN’s patented process
* Environmentally safe
* Compatible with both oil and water-based fluids
* Thermally stable downhole >450°F in a drilling environment
* Manufactured in fine or coarse grades
* Spot prior to running casing or liners
* Spot prior to logging operations
* Spot while drilling to transfer more true weight to bit
* Spot in key seats to reduce torque, drag and sticking problems
* Apply Lubra-Glide CE Co-Polymer Beads Fine Beads for torque and drag reduction in coil tubing operations or with work strings
* Lubricant for both OBM or SBM
* Reduces risk of differential
* Aids in directional changes or while sliding
Lubra-glide Bead® recovery unit
SUN Specialty Products
The process is simple and efficient. Lubra-Glide co-polymer beads and cuttings are removed by the rig shaker and washed down into the recovery tank. The turbulent water action within the recovery tank serves to separate Lubra-Glide beads from the cuttings. Upon separation, the cuttings settle quickly to the bottom and are transported across our high-speed cuttings shaker screens. The finer solids and Lubra-Glide beads are then pumped to one or two hydro-cyclone manifolds mounted atop our high-speed cuttings shaker equipped with 150 to 250 mesh screens (or operator specified mesh). The Lubra-Glide beads with an average specific gravity virtually equal to that of water (SG 1.06) are forced upward through the hydro-cyclone discharge vortex while the unwanted solids travel downward for discharge.
At this point the final recovery step takes place. The bead-carrying fluid discharged through the hydro-cyclone discharge vortex is directed by hose across our recovery shaker. This final separation of Lubra-Glide beads from the fluid assures re-introduction of clean beads into the circulation system via the rig suction pit and the return of the fluid back to its original point, the recovery tank keeping the fluid in its own “closed loop” system.
This recovery process allows for 90 to 98% of the Lubra-Glide beads to be recovered. The continuous re-introduction of Lubra-Glide beads into the drilling and/or completion fluid creates a constant free-flowing concentration of beads working downhole to effectively reduce torque and drag conditions.
Coastal Spot

* Non-sheening
* Base fluid thermal stability >600°F (315°C)
* No adverse effect on rheological properties
* Easily weighted up with barite
* Replacement for diesel and mineral oil based fluids
