TriboSlick® 97

Premium pipe-on-pipe lubricant that minimizes static and sliding friction in coiled tubing operations. TriboSlick 97 contains a combination of a boundary lubricant and an extreme pressure (EP) additive to minimize friction in a variety of situations. Stator elastomer compatibility is better than with other commonly-used lubricants. TriboSlick 97 functions well at low concentrations (0.25% v/v or less) in both fresh water and brine (tested at 100,000 ppm TDS). It disperses easily, which allows rapid mixing of concentrated solutions for injection into the circulating fluid. The required concentration will vary, depending on the circulating volume, surface area of the tubulars, and the amount of sand and debris in the wellbore. TriboSlick 97 should be used to ease getting through the bend into the horizontal, or if progress is slow due to excessive friction.
