STUCK PIPE FREEING INNOVATION

Rapid Spot™ is a biodegradable, synthetic hydrocarbon blend formulated into a liquid concentrate. It is designed to perform as a spotting fluid pill to free stuck pipe. The product is easily field blended into an invert emulsion with several key components (water, salt, lime, barite) and pumped down hole over the interval of stuck pipe. Rapid Spot™ combines unique emulsifiers with special mud cake cracking and penetrating agents.

These characteristics make Rapid Spot™ very effective in coating native and commercial clays, reducing further water hydration, and creating a partial dehydration of the wall cake. As the wall cake dehydrates and cracks, it lowers the cohesive bond on the drill pipe. The lubricating properties of the Rapid Spot™ work to provide

Our “No-Gumbo” Drilling Fluid System

HOW DOES IT WORK

-The polymer encapsulates the clay as soon as it is cut from the
formation, preventing clay from hydrating.
-Due to the low coefficient of friction exhibited by the polymer,
the cuttings do not stick to each other or form large chunks that
continue to build as they come up the annulus.
-The polymer has an affinity for metal, it coats the BHA and
reduces the build up of clay reducing the bit balling.
-The long chain characteristic of the polymer produces a fluid
exhibiting a great carrying capacity, cleaning the hole.
-The system has proven effective in drilling extremely gauged
holes.

Drilling Environment Key Points

• Drilling muds are evolving to meet
environmental requirements.
• Drilling + Environmental performance are
required for drilling muds to be considered
effective.
• Traditional OBM and SBM no longer meet
environmental needs in new regions.
• Biodegradable, clean, high performance
drilling muds are meeting the challenge

Quantum EF : Green Chemistry That Works

Quantum EF : Green Chemistry That Works
Rapid's Quantum EF™ drilling fluid system represents a major technological advancement in drilling fluid capabilities. The Quantum EF™ is a plant-derived fluid system capable of meeting the extreme challenges in many applications such as building angle and drilling extended laterals in the development of unconventional gas shale wells. The Quantum EF™ has been qualified as "Green Chemistry That Works" and is proven in the lab and in many field applications. Lab analysis reports an interesting distinction in that Quantum EF™ contains over 95% "new" carbon, when translated means it contains renewable carbons as compared to a carbons derived from crude oil. It contains zero aromatic hydrocarbons. This environmentally safe "eco-friendly" drilling mud system has proven it is an effective replacement for both oil based drilling muds (OBM) and water based drilling muds (WBM).

The unique "patent-pending" ingredients making up Rapid's Quantum EF™ drilling muds were specially selected for their high degree of safety toward workers and the environment along with their high performance characteristics in drilling muds. In the past, many drilling muds labeled as "green" may have met biodegradability standards, but failed to meet the performance requirement when applied in the field. Rapid's Quantum EF™ drilling mud systems are proven effective on the job as a direct replacement for traditional oil based muds, synthetic oil muds and water based muds in some of the most challenging drilling conditions.

Give us a call, or drop us an email to learn more on how the Rapid Quantum EF™ can meet your next drilling performance objective and protect the environment.

The Quantum EF™ are easy to blend on location using only standard (rig supplied) liquid blending equipment.
