Natural asphalt producer for drilling and asphalt additive

Natural asphalt powder 200 mesh producer for drilling and asphalt

Natural asphalt deposited in Hakkari of Turkey have been known since 1940s and it is the only natural Bitumen deposits area in the Middle East. We are natural Bitumen powder producer for drilling and asphalt and our mine deposits contain 80 to 97 % asphalt content and there is reserved between 200 to 250 million tons. It has been used mainly for road construction and maintenance however oil well drilling fluid to prevent lost circulation.

Natural Asphalt bitumen founder

The Natural asphalt is sourced by BITUMAX USA in Hakkari. It was originally medium gravity oils migrated into uplifted and intensively thrusted anticlines due to collision of natural asphalt with Muna block. Severe deformation eroded cap rocks of the reservoirs where oils came into. The absence of cap rocks caused meteoric water flushing and biodegradation by bacteria and resulted in asphalt deposits mainly as impregnated materials within carbonates formations.

Introduction of the asphalt

It is deposits and asphaltic rocks are reported their occurrences in areas of petroleum where the reservoirs of petroleum are uplifted and exposed to the surface. One of these areas which is very important and its asphalt deposits have been mined since 1940 is the asphalt deposits of the ATDM mine. This product has been exploited by bitumax as contractor of government and has been under subsidiary of ministry of oil. Now it is under control of minster of industrial and a lot of private companies working on.

Mining natural Asphalt

Early exploitation and mining occurred from 1940 to 1941 and  produced 670 tons of natural rock asphalt in 1940, fluctuating during the years, and produced 8000 tons in 1945 with peak production was reached in 1949 mining 12,900 tons of natural rock asphalts. All asphalts were used for road construction.

Working as drilling additive

For oil and gas drilling it is using as variety of organic additives such as dispersing agents, retarders or fluid loss control additives. Natural Bitumen prevent interstitial water from filtering into the formation during cement placement, are generally polymer based.The component appears to be particularly important to control fluid loss and to act as a shale inhibitor. This component working as an excellent shale stabilizer, bore hold lubricant, sealant for depleted sand, and wall cake conditioner.

High performance in road asphalt

The mixture of natural asphalt into asphalt relates to a base stock composition comprising a blend of this product and a rubber latex residue. The base stock may be used alone as a paving material or emulsified to form a natural asphalt emulsion having a variety of uses.Mixture of this unique product enforce asphalt against rutting and thickness of the asphalt with become thin.

1. Have high bond capability due to resin effect to make the asphalt more waterproof.
2. Improve stability for heavy load traffic
3. Have high melting point making the asphalt is more resistant to plastic deformation in tropical temperature.
4. More resistant to ultra violet exposure and to fatigue due to repeated loads.

Natural bitumen in asphalt

The present invention is directed to an asphalt cement composition formed from petroleum asphalt, natural asphalt, reactive oil, and an elastomer. The elastomer has a gel content of up to about 95 percent by weight.

Natural bitumen mixture in asphalt

It has been discovered that asphalt cement can be toughened with natural asphalt and thinned with a reactive oil. Reactive oil is an oil that contains a high content of unsaturated fatty acids. By using a reactive oil, the oil would cure or react after application of the asphalt cement to the highway, thereby allowing for a lower viscosity application by curing later to prevent rutting.The preferred natural bitumen is asphaltite which is preferably one having a melting or softening point near about 300° F. so that it is more easily softened and blended with the petroleum asphalt at such temperatures.

How to mix natural bitumen in asphalt:

An asphalt composition consisting essentially of 100 parts by weight of a petroleum asphalt from about 1 to about 10 parts by weight of a natural asphalt from about 1 to about 10 parts by weight of a thinning reactive oil comprising at least about a 60 percent unsaturated fatty acid content having from about 14 to 24 carbon atoms, and from about 1 to about 10 parts by weight of an elastomer.
