Polyanionic Cellulose
Polyanionic Cellulose (PAC) is a crucial water-soluble polymer widely utilized in the oil and gas industry. It enhances drilling fluid performance by significantly improving viscosity and providing exceptional fluid-loss control. Its ability to inhibit shale swelling and tolerate high salt concentrations makes it indispensable for maintaining wellbore stability and optimizing drilling efficiency. PAC also exhibits resistance to bacterial degradation, reducing the need for biocides.
- Utilizing Polyanionic Cellulose for drilling fluid applications ensures superior fluid-loss control, a critical factor in preventing formation damage and maintaining drilling integrity.
- The PAC drilling fluid additive enhances drilling fluid viscosity, contributing to better cuttings suspension and improved wellbore cleaning.
- As a shale inhibition PAC, it effectively prevents clay swelling, thereby enhancing wellbore stability in challenging geological formations.
- The high temperature resistant PAC grade ensures consistent performance in demanding high-pressure/high-temperature (HPHT) drilling environments.
