TURBO-GEL

TURBO-GEL is special blend of bentonite and high quality additives providing a very versatile uid system. TURBO-GEL provides
pH, suspension, well bore stability, exceptional hole cleaning, ltration control and helps reduce torque and drag. TURBO-GEL is
very versatile and can be used where gel chemical systems are normally required. TURBO-GEL is non-toxic and environmentally
safe.

TURBO-GEL is used to increase viscosity, improve well bore stability, control ltration and help reduce
torque and drag in both vertical and horizontal wells. TURBO-GEL is a cost-e ective solution for shallower
Application wells and eliminates the need for engineering gel chemical systems. Typical concentrations for TURBO-
GEL range from 15 to 30 lb/100 gal (18 to 35 kg/m³).
