Feature And Benefits
SYNVIS minimizes the utilization of bentonite, particularly in surface hole drilling.
SYNVIS is effective in foam, mist and aerated drilling fluid systems.
SYNVIS is very effective in building viscous "pills" to clean the annulus in large diameter holes.
Product Function
SYNVIS is primarily utilized to provide high viscosity for superior hole cleaning at a minimal cost.
Recommended treatment
SYNVIS is normally added in concentrations of 2.5–3.5 lbs/bbl (7.2–10.0 kgs/m³) asneeded to increase viscosity to desired level.No additions of Caustic Soda should be made.
