PRODUCT BULLETIN

ID-SET AK

ID-SET AK lost-circulation-control material is a blend of polymers and fibrous materials designed to plug matrix
and fractured zones. When combined with ID-VIS biopolymer and activated with a combination of ID-SET XL
crosslinking agent along with time and temperature, ID-SET AK produces a firm, rubbery, ductile plug that
effectively prevent loss of fluid to formation. The fibrous material in the ID-SET AK package is a mixture of
particle sizes designed to plug fine-to-medium sized, deep fracture and faults.

Typical Physical Properties

Physical appearance Light (or pale) tan powder.

Specific gravity 1.2

Application

ID-SET AK fluid-loss-control plug can be used to stop partial and matrix losses in any water, oil or synthetic-
base drilling fluid system. ID-SET AK can be mixed in freshwater, seawater or saltwater up to saturation,
through mixing in saltwater will retard set times. ID-SET AK can be used in any application where a squeeze
plug is beneficial and a needs a smaller particle-size distribution of bridging material than dose ID-SET. The
smaller particles enhances the ability of the material to penetrate a porous or fractured zone. ID-SET AK lost-
circulation material does not contain a crosslinking agent, thus allowing for more control than ID-SET product.
The plug can be mixed and stored on location as a contingency, significantly reducing response time.
Once losses are encountered, the plug is activated by adding ID-SET XL cross linker. The ID-SET AK plug
subsequently is spotted across and above the loss zone, and squeezed into place. Depending on the loss rate
and whether the losses are to fractures, vugs, etc., sufficient ID-SET AK should be applied to completely cover
the expected loss zone, along with a 100% excess to squeeze into the borehole breech.

Advantages

 ID-SET AK additive contains only the polymer and los-circulation material. It can be mixed and stored on
location before losses are encountered to reduce response time. Proper biocidal treatment are required
 The material also can be used to shut off water in non-productive zones and in gravel consolidation.
 ID-SET AK fluid loss control plug has a much firmer set than the conventional ID-SET plug.

Toxicity and Handling

Handle as an industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions as described in
the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Packing and Storage

ID-SET AK is packaged in 25 lb (11.3 kg) sacks.

Store in dry well-ventilated area. Keep container closed. Store away from incompatibles.
