Feature And Benefits
- TRUZAN C provides elevated LSRV and high gel strengths (fragile). It has excellent suspension properties restricting the
settlement of weighting agents and drilled cuttings.
- TRUZAN C is shear thinning and promotes low bit viscosity needed to maximize penetration rates, and high annular viscosity to ensure effective hole cleaning.
- TRUZAN C is stable over a wide pH range and is effective in saturated brines as well as fresh and sea water base drilling fluids.
- TRUZAN C is non–damaging to formations and can be removed effectively by acids and oxidants.
Product Function
TRUZAN C is used in drilling and completion fluids to enhance their rheology, ensuring efficient hole cleaning and effective
suspension properties.
Recommended treatment
The effective concentration of TRUZAN C required will depend upon the base fluid being treated. Treatment levels are normally in the range of 1.00–3.0 lb/bbl (2.85 – 8.6 kg/m3).
