Borehole Stabilizing Dry Polymer

Description

EZ-MUD DP is a free-flowing, dry granular synthetic polymer containing partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide/ polyacrylate (PHPA) copolymer. EZ-MUD DP, a water-soluble polymer, disperses and dissolves in fresh water rapidly. When mixed with fresh water, EZ-MUD DP hydrates quickly and forms a clear, viscous fluid. With its high molecular weight and optimum charge density, EZ-MUD DP provides excellent borehole stability through a coating mechanism (encapsulation).

Applications/Functions

• Stabilize reactive clay and shale formations
• Keep trench excavation open during the construction
• Produce high viscosity solids-free slurry
• Enhances rheological properties of a low-solids drilling mud
• Enhance core recovery in continuous wireline coring operations
• Flocculate non-reactive solids in reserve pit at low concentrations
• Reduces torque and drag

Advantages

• Disperses easily with minimal shear
• Efficient shale/clay stabilizer and viscosifier
• Imparts high degree of lubricity
• Compatible with other drilling fluid additives when added in proper sequence
• Non-fermenting
• No petroleum distillates involved
• Breaks down chemically with bleach (sodium hypochlorite)
• NSF/ANSI Standard 60 Certified
