Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Eni Lamix 30 is a highly refined fluid especially developed for drilling oil based mud (OBM). It is a complex mixture of hydrocracked and desulfurized hydro-carbons with a narrow distillation cut. Eni Lamix 30 gives high drilling performance, even in extreme condition (HP/HT, low temperature, extended reach and horizontal wells). It is a non hazardous product for the aquatic environment, meets requirement of OSPAR Commission and it is classified by Norway Legislation as a 'Full Yellow' product. Eni Lamix 30 is classified as 'Almost non toxic' according to Australian Petroleum Exploration Association having a very low ecotoxicity testing to Tilapia Mossambica, Murgil Persia, Boleopthalmus Bottari (Report from Indian National Environmental Engineering Research Institute- NEERI)

Applications

• Used as the base fluid in oil-based drilling mud (OBM), delivering high drilling performance even in extreme conditions (HP/HT, low temperature, extended-reach and horizontal wells).

Performance & benefits

• Very good rheological properties at low temperature
• Respects the aquatic environment: high marine biodegradability and very low ecotoxicity; meets OSPAR Commission requirements and is classified 'Full Yellow' under Norwegian legislation and 'almost non-toxic' by the Australian Petroleum Exploration Association
• Very low sulphur and aromatic content
• High flash point, minimal fire hazard
• Good rubber compatibility
