Product code: RXSOL-81-6552-025
Delivers exceptional viscosity, suspension, and fluid-loss control, providing stable rheology for HDD, water-well, and mineral-exploration drilling in fresh or low-salinity water systems.
A free-flowing powder blend combining high-efficiency for low-shear rate viscosity and cut carrying, and components for fluid-loss control and additional viscosity, and selected base for base gel/plugging and suspension stability. Designed for freshwater and low-salinity brine systems in HDD, water-well, mineral exploration and civil drilling.
Application
Applications of drilling polymer powder
- Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) – Lubricates and stabilizes boreholes, suspends cuttings, and reduces torque/drag.
- Water-Well Drilling – Improves carrying capacity and maintains hole integrity in sand, silt, and gravel formations.
- Geotechnical & Exploration Drilling – Controls fluid loss and maintains stable mud properties in core drilling and mineral exploration.
- Civil Construction Boring & Micro-Tunneling – Provides a thixotropic gel for easy spoil removal and minimal surface disturbance.
Dosage
How to use
| Application | Dosage (kg/m³) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pilot/Spud / Water-Well | 2–4 | General hole cleaning & gel strength |
| HDD / Directional | 3–6 | For sand/silt; increase for coarse gravels |
| Fluid-loss Reduction | 4–7 | For permeable formations |
| Wiper/Conditioning Pills | 5–8 | Short exposure, higher rheology |
Process to follow for Drilling Polymer Powder usage in Rigs Oilfield
- Treat make-up water: Adjust pH 8.5–9.5 with soda ash; reduce hardness (Ca²⁺ <150 ppm).
- Eductor/hopper feed: With good vortex, slowly sprinkle the powder—avoid clumping (“fish eyes”).
- Shear: Circulate through mud hopper or jet mixer. Avoid extreme shear that can degrade the product.
- Hydration time: Allow 20–30 minutes for primary hydration; properties continue to build over 1–2 hours.
- Conditioning: Check PV/YP/gel strengths and API fluid loss; trim with additional blend as needed.
- Compatibility: Works with common additives (KCl, soda ash, biocides, defoamers). Pilot-test with high salinity or divalent-rich waters.
