PRODUCT BULLETIN

ID-FURY
ID-FURY is specifically formulated to stabilize water-sensitive, micro-fractured shales when drilling with water-
base drilling fluids. ID-FURY seals micro-fracture, reduces dynamic fluid loss and minimizes the potential for
differential sticking. Secondary benefits include improved lubricity and reduced accretion from sticky clays. The
product has application in most water-base drilling fluids and is acceptable environmentally.

Typical Physical Properties

Physical appearance Black viscous liquid
Specific gravity 1.05-1.09
pH 9.0-9.2 (2% in distilled water)
Flash point >200°F (93°C)

Application
ID-FURY can be used in most water-base drilling fluids. It has been extremely effective in Lignosulphonate,
Potassium and PHPA mud systems. An initial treatment of 2–5% by volume (7-17.5 lb/bbl) is recommended to
achieve optimum results. The readily dispersible nature of the product allows high concentrations to be added
easily to the mud system. The product contains glycol which aids in lubricity and inhibition.
ID-FURY is temperature stable up to 425°F (218°C) and reduces API, HTHP, dynamic filtration, spurt-loss values
and potential for differential sticking.
ID-FURY works best when added to the mud system before encountering known trouble zones. It can be added
directly to the system through the mud hopper or pumped directly into the suction pit. A concentration of ID-
FURY is maintained by volumetric as the product is only slightly soluble in water. ID-FURY shale-control
additive does not induce foaming and is not sensitive to contamination. It is compatible with other sealing
agents and has been used to combat seepage losses in conjunction with fibrous

Advantages
• Improved wellbore stability and shale inhibition
• Improved lubricity
• Improved high-temperature filtration control
• Reduced bit balling potential
• Reduced filter-cake buildup in depleted sands
• Excellent environmental acceptability.

Toxicity and Handling

Handle as an industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions described in
the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Limitations
ID-FURY may be ineffective or increase viscosity in muds containing excessive low-gravity solids.
Reconditioning may be required prior to adding ID-FURY.

Packaging and Storage

ID-FURY is packaged in 55-gal (208-L) drums and in 550-gal (2,082-L) tote tanks
