Oil Drilling Fluid Grade Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) – Technical Specifications
Product Overview
A high-performance polymer engineered for superior fluid loss control and borehole stabilization in demanding drilling operations, featuring:
Rapid water/brine absorption
High-temperature and high-salinity resistance
Environmentally compliant formulation
✔ Onshore/Offshore Drilling – Fluid loss control in porous formations
✔ Shale Stabilization – Minimizes swelling in clay-rich zones
✔ High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) Wells – Reliable performance in extreme conditions
✔ Geothermal Drilling – Thermal-resistant fluid management
Fast-Acting Gel Formation – Seals microfractures within minutes
Customizable Grades – Tailored for shale, high-salinity, or HPHT environments
Mud Compatibility – Works with water-based systems (WBM)
Sustainable Solution – Reduces drilling waste and fluid consumption
Q: How does SAP improve borehole stability?
A: By absorbing fluid and forming a gel barrier, it prevents formation damage and minimizes fluid invasion into porous zones.
Q: Can it replace traditional fluid loss additives like bentonite?
A: It complements existing systems, offering faster sealing in high-permeability zones where conventional additives may underperform.
Q: What’s the typical dosage?
A: 0.1–0.5% by weight of drilling fluid, adjustable based on formation challenges.
Q: Does it affect rheological properties of the mud?
A: Minimal impact on viscosity or yield point when used at recommended dosages.
Q: Is it suitable for sour gas wells?
A: Yes, resistant to H₂S and CO₂ environments. Special formulations available for extreme sour conditions.
Q: How is it disposed of after use?
A: Gel byproducts can be processed through standard drilling waste management systems.
