Docket No. CP20-487-000 South Sioux City to Sioux Falls A-line Replacement (Project)
Permission to Use Additional HDD Drilling Additives Dear Ms. Bose: Northern Natural Gas Company (Northern) hereby submits for filing with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in the above-referenced docket its request for approval to use additional drilling additives, not described in previous filings, when conducting horizontal directional drills (HDDs) for the Project. Northern also is requesting to change the restrictions it placed during use of EZ Mud Gold, an additive that was previously approved by FERC in upland locations. Due to the number of inadvertent returns experienced to date, Northern’s contractor has requested the following be approved for use as drilling additives; the Safety Data Sheets for each new additive is attached. The additives are on both the Minnesota Department of Health approved list of drilling fluids and additives and the ANSI/NSF 60 certified list. Clay Cutter Dry: a dry polymer that provides clay swell inhibition and reduces clay stickiness, allowing for better clay control and transport of clay cuttings to the surface. A treatment ratio of 0.25 - 1.0 gallon per 100 gallons is recommended. Northern proposes to use this additive without restrictions on location or flushing. Clay Drill: a dry polymer designed to provide borehole stabilization, counteract the sticking tendencies of clay, and inhibit clay/shale swelling. A treatment ratio of 0.7 - 1.0 gallon per 100 gallons is recommended. Northern proposes to only use this additive on HDDs under agricultural (cropped) wetlands and uplands. EZ Mud Liquid: a liquid polymer designed to stabilize reactive clays and shales while also improving fluid rheology/flow dynamics. Will also improve slurry lubricity. A treatment ratio
Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary Page 2 of 2 of 0.5 - 2.0 quarts per 100 gallons is recommended. Northern proposes this additive only be used during the drilling of the HDD pilot hole because it requires flushing, similar to the Penetrol Dry previously approved by FERC. EZ Mud Gold: a polyacrylamide designed to stabilize reactive clays and shales, while also improving fluid rheology/flow dynamics. The additive also will improve slurry lubricity. FERC has previously approved this drilling additive for upland locations. Northern proposes to only use this additive on HDDs under agricultural (cropped) wetlands and uplands. Aqua Clear PFD: a liquid polymer that is a highly effective mud thinner/clay breaker. The additive will thin back an overly thick slurry and break down sticky clays. A treatment ratio of one gallon per 500 gallons is recommended. Northern proposes to only use this additive on HDDs under agricultural (cropped) wetlands and uplands. Based upon the information provided above, and in the attachments, Northern is requesting approval to use the proposed additives during HDD activities as described above. Any questions regarding this filing should be directed to the undersigned at (402) 398-7103. Respectfully submitted, /signed/ Michael T. Loeffler Michael T. Loeffler Senior Director, Certificates and External Affairs

Rev. 10/2006 · IDP-067
Because the conditions of use of this product are beyond the seller's control, the product is sold without warranty either express or implied and upon condition that purchaser make its own test to determine the suitability for purchaser’s application. Purchaser assumes all risk of use and handling of this product. This product will be replaced if defective in manufacture or packaging or if damaged. Except for such replacement, seller is not liable for any damages caused by this product or its use. The statements and recommendations made herein are believed to be accurate. No guarantee of their accuracy is made, however.
Clay/Shale Stabilizer
Description EZ-MUD GOLD, clay and shale stabilizer, provides inhibition of clay and shale formations in water-based drilling fluids without substantially increasing viscosity. EZ-MUD GOLD, when added to a QUIK-GEL® or BORE-GEL® slurry, yields an inhibitive drilling fluid system while maintaining manageable and effective fluid properties. The unique beaded structure of EZ-MUD GOLD allows the material to be mixed easily at minimal shear thereby eliminating the need for liquid emulsions.
Applications/Functions
Enhances rheological properties of a low-solids drilling mud Promotes clay and shale stabilization to prevent swelling and/or
dispersion Promotes borehole stability in water sensitive formations Minimizes rotational torque and circulating pressure Promotes enhancement of air-foam system capabilities Enhances core recovery in continuous wireline coring operations
Advantages
NSF/ANSI Standard 60 certified Unique physical structure allows for easy dispersion and mixing with
minimal shear Allows for use of increased concentrations to gain inhibition without
excess viscosity production No petroleum distillates present Breaks down chemically with bleach (sodium hypochlorite) Compatible with other Baroid drilling fluid additives when added in
proper sequence Non-fermenting

Recommended Treatment
Using a Venturi Mixer, or into vortex of a high-speed stirrer, add slowly
and uniformly to the entire circulating system.

0.25 - 1.0 0.6 – 2.4 0.7 – 2.9
Recommended Treatment
(continued)
Note: Make-up water used to mix EZ-MUD GOLD should meet the following quality: total chloride less than 1500 ppm (mg/L) total hardness less than 100 ppm as calcium total chlorine less than 50 ppm water pH between 8.5-9.5
Reduce total hardness of make-up water by adding soda ash (sodium carbonate) at 0.5 to 1 pound per 100 gallons (0.6 - 1.2 kg/m3) of make-up water.
EZ-MUD GOLD can be chemically broken down with regular household liquid bleach (5% sodium hypochlorite). Use one gallon of liquid bleach per 100 gallons (10 liters/m3) of fluid formulated with EZ-MUD GOLD. Do not use perfumed liquid bleach or solid calcium hypochlorite.
Packaging
EZ-MUD GOLD is packaged in 10-lb (4.54-kg) and 40-lb (18.1-kg) plastic containers with re-sealable flip top lids.
Availability
EZ-MUD GOLD can be purchased through any Baroid Industrial Drilling Products Retailer. To locate the Baroid IDP retailer nearest you contact the Customer Service Department in Houston or your area IDP Sales Representative.
