Application
Applications  of drilling polymer powder
  • Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) – Lubricates and stabilizes boreholes, suspends cuttings, and reduces torque/drag.
  • Water-Well Drilling – Improves carrying capacity and maintains hole integrity in sand, silt, and gravel formations.
  • Geotechnical & Exploration Drilling – Controls fluid loss and maintains stable mud properties in core drilling and mineral exploration.
  • Civil Construction Boring & Micro-Tunneling – Provides a thixotropic gel for easy spoil removal and minimal surface disturbance.
Dosage

How to use

Application Dosage (kg/m³) Notes
Pilot/Spud / Water-Well 2–4 General hole cleaning & gel strength
HDD / Directional 3–6 For sand/silt; increase for coarse gravels
Fluid-loss Reduction 4–7 For permeable formations
Wiper/Conditioning Pills 5–8 Short exposure, higher rheology

 

Process to follow for Drilling Polymer Powder usage in Rigs Oilfield

  • Treat make-up water: Adjust pH 8.5–9.5 with soda ash; reduce hardness (Ca²⁺ <150 ppm).
  • Eductor/hopper feed: With good vortex, slowly sprinkle the powder—avoid clumping (“fish eyes”).
  • Shear: Circulate through mud hopper or jet mixer. Avoid extreme shear that can degrade the product.
  • Hydration time: Allow 20–30 minutes for primary hydration; properties continue to build over 1–2 hours.
  • Conditioning: Check PV/YP/gel strengths and API fluid loss; trim with additional blend as needed.
  • Compatibility: Works with common additives (KCl, soda ash, biocides, defoamers). Pilot-test with high salinity or divalent-rich waters.
