ShalHIB™ 69 Shale Inhibitor
Advanced Amine-based Shale Inhibitor
ShalHIB™ 69 Shale Inhibitor
Superior Clay Stabilization for Water-Based Drilling Fluids
ShalHIB™ is a high-performance amine-based shale inhibitor designed to prevent clay swelling and hydration in water-based drilling fluids. By intercalating between clay platelets, ShalHIB™ effectively inhibits water uptake, ensuring wellbore stability and minimizing bit balling, cuttings dispersion, and operational challenges in drilling applications.
Performance Highlight
Reducing drilling fluid maintenance costs and drilling waste disposal expenses
Compared to the conventional drilling fluid previously used in the area, the inhibitive WBM formulated with ShalHIB™ drilled longer average intervals (left graph) while maintaining a lower MBT content (right graph). These superior solids contamination tolerance minimized the need for fluid dilution enhancing both operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.

Enhanced Shale Stability
Prevents hydration and swelling, reducing drilling risks.
Compatibility with High-pH Fluids
Works seamlessly with dispersed water-based drilling fluids.
Minimal Impact on Rheology
Maintains drilling fluid properties, ensuring smooth operations.
