Potassium Humate for Drilling Fluids
Potassium humate is a multi-functional deep well drilling fluid treatment agent, expertly formulated from lignite and potassium hydroxide. It is renowned for its ability to inhibit the hydration and expansion of clay, a critical factor in preventing wellbore instability and formation damage. This makes it an excellent shale inhibitor, crucial for maintaining the integrity of oil and gas wells.
- Inhibiting clay hydration and preventing cracks, our potassium humate acts as a vital shale inhibitor.
- Experience reduced drilling fluid viscosity and filtration loss with this high-performance additive, a key benefit for drilling fluid filtration loss control.
- The strong temperature resistance of potassium humate ensures its effectiveness in demanding high-temperature resistance drilling additive environments.
- Facilitating shale stabilization, this agent is essential for maintaining wellbore stability in sensitive geological formations.
