TETRA Technologies (TTI) has launched TETRA Neptune Z-Lite, a high-density completion fluid for deepwater and high-pressure well applications that offers up to 60% lower zinc-ion concentration than conventional zinc-based fluids, the company said Monday.

The company said it has been awarded a three-well program for the new fluid system at Beacon Offshore Energy's Gulf of America Shenandoah and Monument projects, expected to begin this year.

TETRA Neptune Z-Lite is available in densities up to 17.5 ppg and is designed to offer lower corrosion potential than conventional zinc brines, the company said.
