GLYCOL MC

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

  • GLYCOL MC is medium-cloud-point polyakylene glycol formulation.
  • GLYCOL MC is used in water-based drilling fluids to improve lubricity and shale stability. It is recommended for use in potassium-based and sodium-based salt (2-15 percent by weight).

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

APPLICATION

  • GLYCOL MC is a medium-cloud-point additive for high salinity fluids, range salinity (30,000 - 90,000 mg/l Cl-) and can be used in wells with moderate formation temperature.
  • GLYCOL MC stabilizes reactive formations, increase lubricity of the drilling fluid, reduce bit-balling tendencies and decrease HTHP filtration.

RECOMMENDED TREATMENT

Add 5-7 percent by volume to the mud system.
