TACKLE

Copolymer

Polymer for deflocculating water-based drilling fluids   TACKLE liquid polymer is a low-molecular-weight, anionic thinner designed to deflocculate a wide range of water-base drilling fluids. This concentrated aqueous product has proven itself in applications from the surface to total depth. While it is frequently used as a shallow-hole thinner to knock the “fluff” out of […]

POLYSWELL

Copolymer

HSE-acceptable lost circulation additive   POLYSWELL is an environmentally acceptable copolymer used to fill or seal fractures and also is effective when spotted in caving zones. In freshwater, POLYSWELL expands to 200 times its volume. As POLYSWELL fully hydrates, it seals the fracture/void and also can be spotted in a problem zone to prevent sticking. […]

POLYPAC UL

Copolymer

High-quality PAC fluid loss control polymer   POLYPAC  UL polyanionic cellulose (PAC) is a high‐quality, water‐soluble polymer designed to control fluid loss. Since it is an “ultra‐low” (UL) additive, POLYPAC  UL causes a minimal increase in viscosity in water‐base muds. Applications POLYPAC UL additive controls fluid loss in freshwater, seawater, KCl and salt muds. It […]

POLYPAC R

Copolymer

POLYPAC R polyanionic cellulose is a high‐quality, water‐soluble polymer designed to control fluid‐loss and increase viscosity in water‐base muds. This protective polymer “envelope” inhibits the dispersion of shale cuttings and restricts fluid interactions with exposed shales. POLYPAC R additive controls fluid‐loss in freshwater, seawater, KCl, and salt muds. It forms a thin, resilient, low‐permeability filtercake […]

POLY-PLUS RD

Copolymer

Multi-function PHPA additive for water-based muds   POLY‐PLUS RD acrylic copolymer (PHPA) is a readily dispersible additive designed to provide cuttings encapsulation and shale stabilization in freshwater to saltwater drilling fluids ranging from low solids to weighted muds. POLY-PLUS RD is formulated for easy mixing with improved dispersion to eliminate “fish eyes,” which occurs when […]

POLY‐PLUS LV

Copolymer

Low-viscosity clay inhibiting agent   POLY‐PLUS LV acrylic copolymer is a low‐molecular‐weight, medium‐charge acrylic copolymer designed to provide cuttings encapsulation and clay‐dispersion inhibition. It is designed for use in fresh and saltwater drilling fluids. POLY‐PLUS LV provides minimal viscosity contribution and can enhance filtration properties. When added to MAX GEL viscosifier or MAX BORE HDD […]
