PRODUCT DATA SHEET

BIO-BASE 300 (NEOFLO 3-14)
BIO-BASE 300 is ideal for land-based applications. It biodegrades aerobically, and is non-toxic in the water column. The product has a low viscosity and pour point and is expected to perform as well or better than mineral oil based fluids. BIO-BASE 300 is a linear paraffin with a carbon chain length between C11 to C14. The high aniline point warrants an excellent compatibility with elastomers of mud motors and BOPs. The product is a true synthetic fluid with a zero aromatic and zero PAH content. In addition to the drilling applications, BIO-BASE 300 is an excellent fluid to replace diesel in the formulation of aromatic-free gelled pills. Product Data

Storage, Handling and Transportation

Bio-Base products may be stored in carbon steel tanks. Hoses manufactured from polyethylene, butyl rubber, or neoprene liners are suitable for discharging. A nitrogen blanket is recommended to reduce potential for product degradation. Antioxidants can be added, upon request, to enhance the long-term stability. The recommended storage temperature is 40C, the recommended maximum is 65C and the recommended minimum is -15C to prevent freezing. BIO-BASE 300 is classified as Combustible Liquid by the United States Department of Transportation (US DOT).

Safety
Bio-Base Products have been demonstrated to have a relatively low order of toxicity by the routes of exposure (oral, dermal, inhalation) encountered in normal handling. Like many hydrocarbon liquids, olefins will dry and de-fat the skin on prolonged contact and will result in skin irritation and dermatitis. Also, like other hydrocarbons, this product can be dangerous when aspirated or ingested. Before handling the product, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet that is available from Shrieve Chemical Products. Additional information can be found in the Material Safety Data Sheet section.

Limitation on Use
WARNING: FOR PARAFFIN BASE FLUIDS OFFSHORE DISCHARGE Do not use this product for drilling operations involving marine discharge of cuttings containing this product. Do not discharge this product or drill cuttings containing this

product into environments that may be or may become anaerobic (absent of oxygen). Anaerobic conditions are likely to exist at the seafloor and within cuttings piles in certain conditions. Testing jointly developed by the E&P industry and the US EPA indicates that this product does not biodegradable anaerobically. LAND DRILLING AND ZERO DISCHARGE OPERATIONS This product should only be used for land drilling operations and zero discharge operations where drill cuttings are managed via accepted cuttings management practices such as injection, thermal treatment, land farming, or composting. Similar to diesel cuttings, if drill cuttings containing this product are discharged to or placed in the environment, best cuttings management practices should be used.
