TAPC-SLIDE™
DRILLING & COIL TUBING FLUID ADDITIVE METAL-TO-METAL LUBRICITY AT ITS BEST
DESIGNED FOR DRILLING AND COILED TUBING OPERATIONS
TAPC-SLIDE™ drilling fluid additive is a non-sheening,
oil-soluble lubricant with an extremely high attraction to metal surfaces.
This polar attraction increases the
efficiency of TAPC-SLIDE™ as it initially adheres to metal instead of other surfaces such as
drill solids. This metal affinity permits coil tubing and drill pipe to coat much quicker
than standard water-soluble lubricants,
allowing for a more effective and efficient lubricating process.
TAPC-SLIDE™ was created to reduce the coefficient of friction
that exists between the coil tubing and the casing or the drilling assembly and the wellbore and casing.
TAPC-SLIDE™ reduces
weight stacking in highly deviated wellbores, allowing the transfer of more weight to the bit.
This increases ROP, decreases
torque and drag and minimizes problems tripping in and out of the hole
in drilling, work-over and coiled tubing operations.

Mixing Recommendations
· It is generally best to mix the product through slow-metered addition into the mud system,
preferably in anticipation of the need to slide.
· Do not mix through the hopper.
· Spotting a pill and working it into the affected area or sweeping the product is an
extremely effective application method.
· 1% by volume is normally sufficient to accomplish objective.
· Applications greater than 2% are strongly not recommended.
