Exploration Products BOP control fluid concentrates. Motion Compensator Hydraulic Fluids Drilling Mud Additives

History of BOP fluids Closed systems used hydraulic oil. Open systems started to use soluble mineral oil Fully synthetic soluble polymers are more stable more environmentally acceptable and non flammable

Erifon HD 856 100:1 BOP Fluid Concentrate. Workhorse of the industry for over 15 years Used by all major drilling contractors and equipment suppliers Excellent track record Market leader world-wide

Erifon HD603 Has all the properties in Erifon HD856 Developed to meet current and future environmental regulations Has been tested by major valve manufacturers and approved for use in their systems.

BOP Fluid Maintenance Correct Dilution is of up-most importance. Dilution test kits will be provided Correct dilution prevents poor lubrication corrosion potential microbiological attack Wm Canning give a free fluid monitoring service.

Erifon Systems Cleaner Total kill is essential (use 2% for 48hrs) Will remove oil and grease where bacteria grow Foaming the fluid will help get to inaccessible places. Protective clothing must be worn Can Not be discharged.

Environmental Testing Full HOCNF information available in line with PARCOM on all Erifon products. Erifon hd603 is the least toxic bop fluid known. SFT and the DTI through the OCNS allows discharge of all the oceanic fluids.

Leak Detection Soluble oils give a white plume when discharged into the ocean. Such as Oceanic LTF (Leak Tracer Fluid) More acceptable is the use of fluorescent dye. This can be detected by an Ultra-Violet (UV) lamp on an ROV.

Erifon Pilot Line Fluid Developed to prevent poor water and mixing damaging the pilot line system Ready to use Increases reliability

Erifon 818 Motion Compensator Fluid. Market leader for over 15 years First water-based fluid to replace old phosphate ester fluids excellent track record

Vapour Phase Corrosion Testing Carbon steel plates placed over the fluid at 60°C for 1 hour

Vapour Phase Corrosion Testing FLUID WITH NO VPI ERIFON 818

Compression Ignition of Compensator fluids HSE recommended test carried out by Bundesantalt Fur Materialprufung Germany. Erifon 818/Compenol was the first fluid tested and was approved by the International Association of Drilling Contractors in 1986

Compression Ignition of Compensator fluids Sample injection High pressure air Heating coils

Compression Ignition of Compensator fluids Silicone Oil and Phosphate Ester fluids ignited at the above temperatures after less than 1 second exposure. Erifon 818/Compenol did not ignite even after 180 seconds

Erifon 818L Low viscosity version of Standard Erifon 818 Developed in conjunction with a major motion compensator manufacturer. For use in cold climates

Erifon 818TLP Added high pressure lubrication for Tension Leg Platforms Required due to higher loads and different types of motion Developed in conjunction with a major motion compensator manufacturer

Erifon Topside HFC Water-based hydraulic oil Designed to replace standard ISO 46 hydraulic oil For use in cranes and pipe moving equipment. Negates the need for bunding as full HOCNF information is available.

General Rules For Water-based Fluids Do not use oil based greases, use glycol based greases such as Oceanic ACL or Silicone grease. Keep the bulk fluid temperature below 60°C Do not use water absorbent seals or filters.

Drilling Mud Additives Lo-Tork Products used all over the world. Lo-Tork Envirolube for ecological sensitive areas. Wm Canning are leading the R&D for silicate muds and wireline lubrication.
