Main Ingredient of Injection Slurry Water (gallons) QUIK-GEL® gelant (pounds) QUIK-TROL® GOLD filtration control polymer (pounds) QUIK-FOAM® HP foaming agent
(% by volume)
Mixing Suggestions
QUIK-FOAM® HP Foaming Agent 100 ––– ––– 0.02 – 3.0 Increase as required to compensate for downhole dilution, etc.
QUIK-TROL® GOLD Filtration Control Additive QUIK-FOAM HP Agent 100 ––– 0.5 – 1.0 0.1 – 2.0 Mix Well
MUD-MIST 100 25 ––– 0.3 – 1.0 Mix Well Viscosity: 32-40 sec/qt
GEL-FOAM 100 12 - 15 1.0 0.3 - 1.0 Mix Well Viscosity: 40 sec/qt maximum

Note: Mix only in this sequence: EZ-MUD® DP polymer, 0.25 – 0.5 pounds per 100 gallons, may be used in place of QUIK-TROL GOLD filtration control agent.
