Gilsonite® uintaite, the recognized industry standard for filtration control, is equally effective at controlling lost circulation and improving wellbore stability.
GILSONITE IS NATURALLY BETTER®
This versatile, multi-purpose additive is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon resin found only in northeastern Utah. Gilsonite® uintaite has significant health, safety and environmental (HSE) advantages over synthetic products. OSHA Material Safety Data Sheets classify Gilsonite® as:
- Non-toxic
- Non-carcinogenic
- Non-mutagenic
Gilsonite® uintaite requires only standard PPE safety measures.
