Manufactured by Beijing Sanhe Runjing Technology Co., Ltd., a leader in drilling fluid innovation, KPAM excels in stabilizing wellbores, mitigating shale hydration, and enhancing overall drilling efficiency. Its advanced molecular structure ensures compatibility with both water-based and saltwater-based mud systems.
Strong Flocculation: Facilitates the removal of inferior solids such as rock dust.
Strong Shale Inhibition: Effectively prevents drilling fluid-induced shale collapses.
Fluid Loss Reduction: Demonstrates a certain degree of fluid loss reduction in drilling fluids.
High Molecular Weight: With a molecular weight exceeding 12 million.
Mechanism: Forms a hydrophobic film on shale surfaces via ionic bonding, effectively blocking water ingress and preventing clay swelling.
Action: Coats drill cuttings with a polymer layer, minimizing fragmentation and reducing torque/drag risks.
Benefit: Improves fluid clarity and stabilizes rheological properties under high-temperature conditions
Environmental Compliance
Biodegradability: eco-safe drilling operations.
Polypotassium Acrylate can be widely used in both freshwater and saltwater drilling fluid systems.
Freshwater Mud: Recommended dosage is 0.05% to 0.1%.
Saltwater Mud: Recommended dosage is 0.2% to 0.7%.
The actual dosage may vary depending on the specific application environment.
Optimal dosage should be determined based on specific well conditions and drilling parameter
Recommended Applications
Shale Formations: Prevents wellbore collapse in water-sensitive strata (e.g., Montney, Haynesville).
High-Temperature Wells: Stabilizes fluid viscosity in geothermal and deep reservoirs.
Saltwater Systems: Compatible with NaCl/CaCl₂ brines up to saturation.
Horizontal Drilling: Reduces friction coefficient by 30–40% in extended-reach wells.
Packaging: 25 kg triple-layer kraft bags
Storage Conditions:
Keep dry and protect from direct sunlight and moisture.
Temperature: 10–30°C (avoid thermal cycling).
Humidity: ≤65% RH (critical for anti-caking).
Ventilation: Well-ventilated area, isolated from oxidizers.
Validity Period: 24 months from production date (see batch code for details).
