What is sulphonated asphalt
Sulphonated asphalt is asphaltic hydrocarbon that has been treated by a close cap system in specific sulphonating process to be partially soluble dispersible or emulsion in water based drilling fluids to stabilize hole shale.
A unique product “Sulphonated asphalt” is commonly used as an additive in drilling muds for oil and gas wells. In drilling operations, the mud serves several important functions, including lubricating the drill bit, carrying cuttings to the surface, and maintaining pressure in the well to prevent blowouts.
It is a valuable addition to drilling muds due to its exceptional emulsifying and wetting properties. By preventing water from separating out, it stabilizes the mud, while also reducing fluid loss during drilling. This is crucial as fluid loss can cause formation damage, hinder drilling efficiency, and even lead to lost circulation events.
Moreover, sulphonated asphalt enhances the rheological properties of drilling muds. It boosts mud viscosity, aiding in hole cleaning and cuttings removal. Additionally, it diminishes torque and drag during drilling, resulting in less wear on equipment and improved drilling efficiency.
What is usage and application of asphalt sulphonate?
Color of sulphonated asphalt is black powder and waterfreindly mud drilling conditioner to control drag and torque.

Packing of product asphalt
We are able to pack asphalt sulphonate in 25Kg multi paper bag on pallet ,1000Kg jumbo bag,50LBS bag,PP bag
Reason of usage
Lubricate mud thus reducing torsion and drag of the formation or cutting
Seals little fractures in stressed sedimentary rock formulation.
Prevents bit and down hole assembly bailing by preferentially oil wetting the drill string.
Good cooler thus reduces the down hole with temperature fluid loss and contributes to corrosion inhibition.
Inhibits swelling clay and water wetting of shale’s
Reduces HTHP (High Temperature High Pressure) Fluid Loss
Sulponated Asphalt Improves Filter cake Quality and helps seal small fractures
Sulphonated asphalt additive (sulfonated asphalt powder) is helping to shale stabilization.
Hs code and CAS number of sulphonated asphalt EC number.
Most of custom specified the material HS code with 27149090.The CAS number is 68201-32-1 also EC number is 269-212-0
