Fluid Loss Additives
The rheological properties of the drilling mud, the main components of which are sodium bentonite and water, are important for the drilling to proceed in a healthy way. Especially when passing sandy and clastic units, the water in the drilling mud is absorbed by the formation, resulting in filtration, thus water loss in the drilling mud.
As a result of the filtration, the rheological properties of the mud deteriorate, causing the circulation to slow down, the crumbs that come out during drilling to accumulate around the drill and form a cake, and the pressure of the Wireline tool string to deteriorate. These events can cause the drill string to become jammed in the well or the well to collapse, causing the drilling to slow down or even stop.
In order to prevent fluid loss, be sure to use our fluid loss additives, which protect the rheological properties of the mud during drilling, prevent filtration, and according to the chemical properties of the formation being studied.
