Partially Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide
Our Partially Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide (PHPA) is engineered to deliver exceptional performance in demanding drilling environments. Its unique properties as a drilling fluid additive contribute significantly to operational efficiency and wellbore integrity.
- This high molecular weight polymer acts as an effective encapsulator, providing superior shale stabilization by preventing shale swelling and erosion, which is critical for maintaining wellbore stability.
- As a key drilling fluid additive, PHPA enhances mud viscosity, improving the carrying capacity for cuttings and ensuring efficient hole cleaning, a vital aspect of controlling shale hydration.
- The anionic nature of this polymer makes it a versatile fluid loss reducer, crucial for minimizing fluid infiltration into formations and maintaining predictable drilling fluid properties.
- Performing well even in high salinity conditions, this polymer additive ensures consistent performance in diverse drilling fluid formulations, including those used in challenging environments.
Key Advantages
