UNI-RV
(CHROME LIGNITE) Thinner and Dispersant

Advantage

UNIVERSAL DRILLING FLUIDS

General Description
• Compatible with all water base mud sys
UNI-RV is a specially formulated product tems
designed for use as a thinner, fluid • Reduces differential pressure sticking
stabilizer and fluid loss reducing agent in all tendencies by reducing filtercake thickness
water base muds. It is an excellent additive for and HTHP fluid loss
HTHP filtration control and rheological • Stabilizes the fluid loss and rheology of
stabilization for muds subjected to high water base muds at temperatures up to 450°
temperatures. F(232°C)
• Performance is not adversely affected by
mud contaminants
Applications • Particularly effective in freshwater and
seawater mud systems
UNI-RV agent is used in water base muds to • An economical sodium hydroxide
reduce viscosity, increase rheological stability neutralized, UNI-RV product designed for
and improve filtration control. The effect of UNI-RV exceptional high temperature performance
is most dramatic in fluids exposed to higher • Contains the more acceptable Cr+3 chrome
temperatures. UNI-RV can be applied to muds of valence state
any salinity, from fresh to saturated salt, as well as
to lime and gyp muds. For saturated salt or low pH
mud systems, presolubilize UNI-RV in a lower Physical Properties
salinity, high pH fluid.
Physical appearance Black, free flowing

UNI-RV may be added to the system through content (%)
the mixing hopper. Depending on viscosity and
fluid loss requirements, 1 to 6 lb/bbl (2.85 Particle size Fraction 15% Min. retained
(60MESH)
to 17.1 kg/m³) may be required. Improved
HTHP filtration control and rheological stability
under adverse conditions, such as high
temperatures, may require greater Chemical Properties
concentrations. For pH (2% Saln.) 9.0-10.5
improved mud system and product performanc Specific gravity 1.70@ (200C)
e, the pH should be maintained at
9.5 or greater.
