PAC-LV (Polyanionic Cellulose, Low Viscosity) is a water-soluble cellulose ether polymer, commonly used as a fluid-loss control agent in water-based drilling fluids for applications such as oil and natural gas drilling, as well as horizontal directional drilling (HDD).
• Fluid-Loss Control: Forms a thin, tough filter cake on the borehole wall, effectively reducing the loss of drilling fluid into the formation.
• Low-Viscosity Thickening Profile: Unlike PAC-HV (High Viscosity), PAC-LV significantly reduces fluid loss while causing little to no increase in the overall viscosity of the drilling fluid.
• Shale Inhibition and Encapsulation: Inhibits the hydration and dispersion of clay, helping to stabilize the borehole wall.
• Excellent Compatibility and Resistance: Suitable for a wide range of water-based mud systems—including those using fresh water, seawater, saturated brine, or KCl (potassium chloride)—and offers good thermal stability (typically up to approximately 150°C) as well as resistance to bacterial degradation.
Key Technical Specifications
