LIQUIPAC-LV

Liquid Form modified polyanionic cellulose, – water-soluble – specifically designed to control fluid loss, minimizing any increase in viscosity in water-base muds.

Application

LIQUIPAC LV controls fluid loss in fresh water, seawater, KCl and salt muds using any type of drilling tool (bucket, grab and hydromill), It contributes to form a thin, resilient, low-permeability filter cake which minimizes the potential for differential sticking and the invasion of filtrate and mud solids into permeable formations.
LIQUIPAC LV is an “low – vis” additive, able to generates less viscosity than regular fluid loss control additives.
This protective polymer “coating” inhibits the dispersion of shale cuttings and restricts fluid interactions with exposed shales

Specific advantages and benefits

Effective at low concentration to control fluid loss
Produces minimal viscosity increase
Encapsulates shale particles to inhibit swelling and dispersion
Resists against bacterial attack
No biocide or preservative is necessary
Excellent environmental acceptability
Works over a wide range of salinity & hardness
Effective over a wide range of pH levels
Has application in all water-base muds, ranging from low-solids, non-dispersed polymer systems to high-density,
dispersed systems
Compatible with all common mud-treating additives
