Drilling Detergent

Drilling detergent is an aqueous blend of surface-active agents that reduces the surface tension of water-based drilling fluids and reduces the sticking tendency of water-sensitive shale cuttings.
It is used primarily in upper-hole drilling to minimize bit and BHA balling, reduce torque and drag, and improve water-wetting action on solids. It can also be used as an emulsifier for oil-contaminated fluids.
