Polydrill
Product #17040
Polydrill is a sulfonated polymer fluid loss control additive, which stabilizes rheology in a wide range of drilling and completion fluid systems.
Formulated on a new chemistry Polydrill belongs to the group of 100% synthetic polymers such as polyacrylamides and vinylsulfonate/vinylamide co-polymers. The polymer has a molecular weight of 200,000, which gives it the advantage of not increasing rheology.
Polydrill achieves fluid loss control by reducing the pore size of a filter cake and plugging these pores. The polymer has an enormous water- binding capability, which ties up much of the free water.
Polydrill works best in highly contaminated and high temperature environments at concentrations of 2.8-8.5 kg/m³. Pilot testing is recommended prior to addition to the mud system.
Features & Benefits
- Temperature stability exceeding 200°C
- Calcium tolerance to 75,000 ppm
- Magnesium tolerance to 100,000 ppm
- Complete tolerance to sodium and potassium chloride
- Stabilization of rheological properties
- Minimal effect on viscosity
- Improved filter cake quality
- Thermal stabilization of PAC and CMC to at least 154°C
- Non-damaging to the formation
- Low replacement levels
- Environmentally safe
Mixing & Handling
Polydrill can be added directly into the mud system through the mixing hopper. It is advisable to use a dust mask and eye protection while mixing all powdered products.
