This episode discusses the features and benefits of JetLube KOPR-KOTE ARCTIC, a drill collar compound designed for extreme temperature conditions.
JetLube KOPR-KOTE ARCTIC Drill Collar & Tool Joint Compound — the unleaded, NLGI Grade 1 drilling compound engineered specifically so spray and pump equipment can keep working when temperatures crater to -65°F (-54°C). If your connections are galling in long horizontal holes or your current grease seizes in the pump at sub-zero, this episode breaks down exactly how the ARCTIC formulation solves both problems.

Standard KOPR-KOTE is optimized for general rotary shouldered connections; KOPR-KOTE ARCTIC is reformulated around a low pour petroleum base fluid and an anhydrous calcium thickener so it stays spray-applicable from -65°F all the way up to 300°F (149°C). NLGI Grade 1 penetration of 310–330 (ASTM D-217 @ 77°F) keeps it fluid enough for automated application systems on high-throughput rigs without sacrificing film strength at elevated downhole temperatures. The friction factor is your downhole makeup insurance. KOPR-KOTE ARCTIC carries a friction factor of 1.15 relative to API RP 5A3 Annex I — verified on full-scale API tool…
