PIPE LAX

PIPE LAX is a specialized chemical compound typically consisting of acids, surfactants, and polymeric materials. It is designed with a high capability to dissolve and resolve filter cakes or sedimentary layers formed on the well walls during drilling operations.

When drilling tools or equipment get stuck, using PIPE LAX can help in freeing them, thereby reducing the risks associated with prolonged operational downtime and increased costs. PIPE LAX can also improve the flow of drilling mud and reduce the exudation or accumulation of solids in the mud, which ultimately leads to greater well stability and reduces the risk of damage to the well walls.

Moreover, its use can help maintain the uniformity and viscosity of the drilling mud, which is crucial for avoiding issues related to mud pressure and preventing blowouts or well collapse. Thus, PIPE LAX is considered an effective and versatile tool in drilling operations.

This substance meets NISOC standards and is generally used for freeing stuck pipes and downhole equipment. The typical dosage is a minimum of 7-8 liters of PIPE LAX per barrel of diesel, depending on the requirement.
