NO-SAG biopolymer is free-flowing, powdered and easily dispersed. It helps enhance the carrying capacity of both clay and polymer-base drilling fluids without significantly increasing the viscosity of the slurry.
Applications and Functions
Increased gel strength of the drilling fluid for better suspension of the drilled cuttings, coarse sand and gravel
Enhanced carrying capacity for solids suspension at lower viscosity to further ensure flowability on longer length bores and backreams
Improved resistance to contamination when drilling in brackish and salt water environments
Advantages
Can mix easily into pre-hydrated bentonite-based fluids
Helps enhance system by increasing the suspension properties of the base drilling fluid with a minimal increase in viscosity
Small packaging for ease of handling and reduction of waste
