Shale inhibitors minimize water’s ability to hydrate clay, gumbo and reactive shales. Hydration causes swelling, wellbore instability, high torque and drag, and stuck pipe. (Delay or prevent shale swelling and achieve a more stable, trouble-free, gauge wellbore). Paladin Drill chemical additives are designed to inhibit reactive shales in water-base drilling systems and reservoir drill-in fluids. Our shale inhibitors are designed to enhance drill ability while maintaining low toxicity for environmental acceptability.
