Feature And Benefits
Apart from the shale dispersion inhibition properties, PHPA 100 will also helps reduce turbulent flow, friction and power losses at points of high shear. It is a cost effective way to generate viscosity in fresh or low salinity drilling fluids with the addition of 0.5 – 1.0 ppb. It’s shear thinning capacity assures maximum power at the bit under high shear while retaining excellent carrying capacity under low shear conditions. It can also be utilized for clear water or low solids drilling. The addition of 0.5% solution PHPA 100 into the flow line or just prior to any mechanical separation equipment will greatly enhance the removal of drill solids. It will assist in foam drilling by creating a every stable foam, thereby increasing foam life. This results in enhanced cuttings removal and reduced water requirements. The product is compatible with most commonly used foamers.
Product Function
PHPA 100 can be used alone or in conjunction with KCl to stabilize active shales by decreasing the shale’s tendency to absorb water, swell and slough-off.
Recommended treatment
Normal dosage rates are between 0.25 – 1.0 ppb as supplied.
Shipping References
