Polyanionic Cellulose Polymer (LV) – High-Efficiency Fluid Loss Additive in Agartala
Innova Corporate (India) is a distinguished manufacturer and global supplier of Polyanionic Cellulose Polymer (LV), now a key resource for the specialized drilling requirements in Agartala. Widely recognized as PAC-LV, this low-viscosity polymer is an elite-grade additive meticulously developed to minimize fluid migration and suppress scale accumulation within water-based mud systems. It demonstrates exceptional dispersibility in various environments—from local freshwater sources to high-salinity water—providing a flexible solution for the complex subterranean conditions encountered across the Tripura region.
Key Technical Features:
- Filtration Control: PAC-LV is a low-yielding polymer that effectively reduces API filtration rates without causing a significant increase in the fluid's plastic viscosity.
- Shale Inhibition: It provides excellent shale stabilization by encapsulating drilled cuttings and protecting the borehole from swelling and sloughing.
- Thermal Stability: Lab tests confirm that our PAC-LV remains stable in temperatures up to 300°F (149°C), ensuring performance in deep-hole drilling operations.
Applications & Operational Range:
Innova’s PAC-LV is successfully applied in fresh water, sea water, and KCl-weighted drilling fluids. Its effectiveness is closely linked to its presence in the water phase and its absorption on solids. To maintain optimal rheology and fluid loss control, periodic replacement of the polymer is recommended to compensate for losses on drilled cuttings during the circulation process.
Performance & Treatment Guide:
- Typical Formulation: In a base fluid of sea water with 10 ppb bentonite and barite (density 1.4), PAC-LV maintains high integrity even after being aged at 185°F (85°C).
- Mixing Instructions: For maximum dispersion, PAC-LV should be added through the hopper at a rate of approximately 20 minutes per sack. Recommended dosage levels typically range from 0.5 to 2.5 ppb.
