AURAGLIDE is an ester based biodegradable lubricant suitable for use in most water-based drilling fluids systems. Specially designed molecules of AURAGLIDE help in reducing bit-balling, providing high temperature fluid loss control and additional inhibition to the mud system. AURAGLIDE significantly reduces the coefficient of friction in water–based muds and downhole torque and drag in deviated and horizontal wells. It increases drilling penetration rates and is environmentally friendly
