Non-toxic, non-detectable BTEX drilling fluid base oil.
JET BASE 200
JET BASE 200 is a non-toxic highly refined hydrocarbon based drilling fluid that was specially developed for environmental and safe handling. JET BASE 200 can be used as a replacement for diesel or other potentially dangerous/hazardous hydrocarbon base fluids where either environmental or safety issues are a concern. Although formulated to be an environmentally friendly fluid, the fluids characteristics of JET BASE 200 ensures improved drilling performance as a result of the lubricity, stability in higher temperature environments, its compatibility with various rubbers and increased rate penetration during drilling.
JET BASE 200 is used as a replacement for diesel or similar hydrocarbon base fluids for drilling muds.
JET BASE 200 provides a safe environmental option to reduce overall drilling costs when considering safety issues, rig cleaning, disposal of cuttings and drill fluids.
JET BASE 200 was tested in a standard biodegradation assay (OECD 301F) using techniques to improve its dispersion and bioavailability. JET BASE 200 rapidly and extensively biodegrades. At the end of the 28 day period, JET BASE 200 degraded by 83% based on the theoretical oxygen (ThO2) consumption.
