JET-LUBE 21®, an environmentally-friendly, double-duty drill collar and tool joint compound, has been formulated to provide a superior level of performance for the increasing demands of today’s oilfield market. The lead-free formulation contains copper flake as the only metallic component and is fortified by a unique blend of natural, inorganic, extreme-pressure, and anti-wear additives. For invert or high-pH muds, a special base grease is available.
- Not classified as a marine pollutant - DOT Approval CA2006100003
- Contains no lead or zinc.
- Formulated with a proprietary blend of copper, graphite, and other additives for protection and prevention of excessive circumferential makeup in hostile drilling environments.
- Inhibitors protect against rust and corrosion.
- Sticks to wet joints.
- Aluminum complex base for brushability and stability over a wide temperature range.
- Consistent rig floor makeup.
- Excellent resistance to makeup downhole.
- Available in Arctic, Thermal, Biodegradable, and Specialty grades.
JET-LUBE 21 has been designed to utilize the makeup charts in API RP7G. In the more severe drilling situations such as higher speeds, higher penetration rates, deviated holes, or harder formations, drill collars and other rotary shouldered connections should be made up at least 15% over the listed RP7G values.
APPLICATIONS
JET-LUBE 21 is recommended for the entire drill string in most drilling conditions. Typical applications would include geothermal wells, high angle holes, problem holes involving high temperature, whip stocks, and horizontal drilling applications. JET-LUBE 21 prevents high stress in drill pipe connections which shortens their useful life.
