Through the addition of light weight additives, it is possible to reduce the density of drilling muds down to a desired value that will permit faster rates of production than can be achieved with conventional drilling muds. The LBG Additive series can produce an infinite density variation from 360 kg/m3 to 1000 kg/m3 to be used in drilling muds for under balanced development drilling of oil wells. With the addition of a polymer compound and the LBG Additive, the drilling mud engineer can mix up the correct density so as to allow the drilling operation to proceed in an under balance manner. There are large financial reasons for oil companies to reduce the density of their drilling muds to the point of under balanced operation. The LBG Additives range in density from 0.02 g/cc to 0.9 g/cc and in diameter from 10 micro to 150 micron. The applicability of the additive is directly related to various factors that are encountered during the drilling cycle. This patent explains the applicability of the additive to the drilling cycle.
