Technical Advantages: Engineered for Performance

1.Superior Fluid Loss Control

Forms a thin, impermeable filter cake (≤2 mm) to reduce fluid invasion by 40%, protecting reservoir integrity (API 13A compliant).

2.Extreme Environmental Stability

  • Salt Tolerance: Maintains viscosity in 20% NaCl and saturated brine solutions.

  • Thermal Resistance: Stable at 150°C for 72+ hours without degradation.

  • pH Compatibility: Effective in pH 3-11, eliminating the need for pH adjusters.

3.Eco-Friendly Formulation

Biodegradable, non-toxic, and free from heavy metals, aligning with OSPAR and EPA regulations for offshore drilling.

Industry Applications: Driving Efficiency Across Sectors

Oil & Gas Drilling

  • Offshore Operations: PAC HV reduces mud costs by 20% in seawater-based drilling fluids (Case Study: North Sea Project, 2024).

  • High-Pressure/High-Temperature (HPHT) Wells: PAC Supreme maintains viscosity in 180°C environments, reducing downtime by 35%.

Mining & Construction

  • Slurry Stabilization: Prevents particle settlement in mineral processing, improving pipeline flow efficiency by 25%.

Paper & Textile

  • Coating Agent: Enhances paper smoothness and ink retention in offset printing.
