Case Study Operator Drills Highly Deviated Well to Record Depth with Integrated RDF System, North Slope
Combination of fluids maintains high-quality rheology within system pressure parameters and achieves excellent hole cleaning, Alaska.
POWERVIS
Linear biopolymer viscosifier
Provide higher thermal stability and lower ECD with a unique rheology profile
The innovative chemistry of the POWERVIS linear biopolymer viscosifier delivers lower pump pressures and equivalent circulating density (ECD), making it an ideal alternative for CT drilling or any applications where a solids-free system is being used.
Optimize effects with less product
Compared with xanthan-gum biopolymers, the POWERVIS viscosifier offers a range of advantages:
- similar low-shear-rate viscosities at lower concentration levels
- lower plastic viscosities and yield point
- lower ECD, pressure loss, and free-spin pressures in coiled tubing operations
- more resistance to thermal degradation while tolerating cement and higher pH.
Enhance efficiency with integration capabilities
The POWERVIS viscosifier can be used
- as a rheology-modifying agent in POWERPRO CT coiled tubing debris-removal fluid to provide viscosity and solids suspension
- as a vicosifier in FLOPRO NT water-based reservoir drill-in fluid in fresh-water or low-salinity drilling fluids where enhanced hole cleaning is desired
- in SAFETHERM aqueous-based water-miscible insulating packer fluid applications.
