Amberguard 215 is a carbamate-based biocide used to prevent biological growth in drilling mud, completion fluids, and packer fluids. It kills both aerobic and anaerobic organisms that can interfere with fluid operations or create odors. A treatment level of 5 gallons per 100 barrels is recommended for prevention, while higher dosages are needed to treat active infestations. Proper safety precautions should be followed when handling the product.

Amberguard 215
AMBERGUARD 215 is a carbamate type biocide for use in drilling mud, completion fluids, and packer fluids.
In drilling fluids with the potential for biological growth, treatment with AMBERGUARD 215 will prevent problems. When biological growth occurs in fluids, the organisms can be killed with a treatment of AM- BERGUARD 215. As a pretreatment the product is used in packer fl u- ids that will be left in the hole for an extended period.
AMBERGUARD 215 prevents or reduces the growth of organisms that interfere with the operation of drilling fluids. Organisms can con- sume organic polymers, rendering them useless which can cause vi s- cosity problems and foaming. The malodorous byproduct of organ- isms in a drilling or completion fluid can make working on the mud pits difficult if not impossible. AMBERGUARD 215 prevents or eliminates these odors. AMBERGUARD 215 is a carbamate based biocide which is much more environmentally friendly than previous glutaraldehyde based biocides.
A treatment level of 5 gallons per 100 bbls or 0.5 ppb is recom- mended for prevention of biological growth. This will provide 1000 to 1500 ppm in the system. For fluids with active colonies, the treatment must be increased by two to three times as much.
AMBERGUARD 215 can only kill the organisms it comes in contact with. Dead spots in a circulating system can harbor colonies of bacte- ria until the biocide has diluted and then reappear, contaminating the entire system again. Efforts should be made to stir up any dead spots.
AMBERGUARD 215 kills aerobic and anaerobic infestations in drilling and completion fluids. Pretreatment will help to prevent the establish- ment of an infestation. Care should be taken not to use this product or other biocides when organic growth is desired, such as the use of H- Break 100, which depends on the multiplication of enzymes to work.
