Impacts of polyanionic cellulose polymer (PAC-LV)‎ on drilling fluids properties

الملخص EN

This study aims at the assessment of the effect of Polyanionic Cellulose Polymer (PAC-LV) into water base drilling fluids Properties.

Laboratory investigations of physical properties of raw material (clay) show that the clay is near to class Ca Bentonite.

Adding PAC-LV increases viscosity and decreases filter loss.

Drilling fluids need huge amount of PAC-LV to meet American Petroleum Institute Standards (API).

The study concludes that the PAC-LV is an expensive drilling fluids properties improver, not recommended to be used.
