| Ez-Mud |
 |
EZ-MUD, partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide/polyacrylate (PHPA) copolymer emulsion, is used to stabilize reactive clay and shale formations.
EZ-MUD acts as a shale stabilizer by adsorbing onto cuttings and clays on the borehole wall, preventing dispersion.
Because of its high molecular weight, EZ-MUD quickly viscosifies with increased concentrations.
EZ-MUD is readily soluble in fresh, brackish, or salt waters, and it can be used to prepare solids-free drilling fluids.
*Applications/Functions: Stabilize water-sensitive formations, Reduce bit-balling Increase rheological properties of drilling fluids, Provide mud lubricity in low pressure situations, Flocculate drilled solids when used in low concentrations, Enhance the yield of bentonite clays in low solids drilling systems
*Advantages: Yields rapidly with minimum shear Is nonfermenting, Does not require biocides, Stable in monovalent salt (NaCl, KCl, etc.) environments, Effective in small concentrations, Can be destroyed with oxidizing agents when desired. |
