Lubricants
PZT-LUBE-1 is a general-purpose lubricant additive used to reduce torque and drag in drilling operations across a range of well trajectories. It forms a lubricating film between the drill string and the wellbore wall or casing, lowering the friction factor and with it the surface torque needed to rotate. That matters most in deviated and horizontal sections, where accumulated contact along the string can otherwise limit reach. Typical treatment is 0.5 to 2.0% by volume of the drilling fluid, set by observed torque and drag conditions rather than a fixed rate. Supplied in 55-gallon drums and 5-gallon pails.

Use Cases & Applications
- Torque and drag reduction in deviated and horizontal wells
- Extending reach where friction along the string limits drilling
- Reducing differential sticking tendency in permeable sections
Pros
- Works across a range of well trajectories rather than one specific profile
- Dosed by volume percentage, so it is straightforward to adjust against observed torque
- Dispersible or emulsifiable in the base fluid, so no separate carrier is needed
Cons & Limitations
- Confirm base-stock chemistry before ordering: petroleum-based and non-petroleum grades differ in HSE profile and tariff treatment
- Overtreatment can affect mud rheology and foaming behaviour
