Performance & protection
Extreme pressure- Increases ROP with 3–6% concentration in the active system.
- Minimizes torque and drag to keep the string moving smoothly.
- Reduces wear on downhole tools and casing in demanding sections.
Why S.O. Lube 1000™
Designed as a one‑step, field‑proven lubricant for all troublesome wells, S.O. Lube 1000™ improves drilling efficiency at low treat rates (typically 3–6%).
Hole stability & bit performance
Cleaner drilling- Prevents differential sticking in overbalanced conditions.
- Stabilizes wellbores and helps prevent shale sloughing.
- Eliminates bit balling and improves penetration rate.
Compatibility & environment
Pollution‑free- Compatible with all mud systems, including freshwater, seawater and glycol‑enhanced muds.
- Withstands temperatures up to 500°F for deep, hot wells.
- Passes the Static Sheen Test – pollution‑free performance.

How to treat your system
Add S.O. Lube 1000™ directly into the suction pit over at least two complete circulations. Avoid mixing caustic at the same time.
Initial treatment guideline
A common starting point is about 2.5% of total system capacity (55‑gal drums). For example, a 1,200‑bbl system (~54,000 gal ≈ 916 drums) would require ~23 drums at 2.5%.
This is a planning estimate only. Always confirm treatment volumes with your mud engineer and operator guidelines.
