| Ez-Mud DP |
 |
EZ-MUD DP is a partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide/polyacrylate (PHPA) copolymer dry powder that is used to stabilize reactive clays and shale formations.
EZ-MUD DP acts as a shale stabilizer by inhibiting cuttings and clays in the borehole wall, preventing dispersion.
Because of its high molecular weight, EZ-MUD DP quickly viscosifies with increased concentrations.
EZ-MUD DP 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, Enhances the yield of bentonite clays in low solids drilling systems
*Advantages: 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. |
