Description

UNIVIS-BORE D is a dispersible, high-molecular-weight biopolymer used for increasing viscosity in water-base-based drilling fluid systems. Small quantities provide viscosity and weight material suspension for all water-base mud systems. UNIVIS-BORE D biopolymer has the unique ability to produce a fluid that is highly shear-thinning and thixotropic.

Application

UNIVIS-BORE D biopolymer is used to increase viscosity for cuttings transport and suspension. It performs effectively in all water-base fluids, ranging from highly weight d to low-solids systems. heavy- brine fluid systems. This includes freshwater, seawater, salt, and UNIVIS-BORE D biopolymer deliver an optimized rheological profile with elevated low-shear-rate-viscosity and highly shear-thinning characteristics. These characteristics frequently result in fluids with inverted flow properties, i.e., the yield pint being greater than the plastic viscosity. Shear-thinning fluids have low effective viscosities at the high she r rates encountered both inside the drill-string and at the bit. This effective viscosity generates minimal pressure losses
and standpipe pressures, thus allowing optimize hydraulics and increased rates
of penetration. Conversely, for the low shear rates experienced in the annulus, UNIVIS-BORE D biopolymer enables the fluid to have a high effective viscosity that adequately suspends cuttings and cleaning of the well.

Advantages

• Highly effective results

• viscosifier, with minimal treatments producing significant

• Shear-thinning rheological profile for improve hydraulics

• Minmum friction. pressure losses for additional hydraulic horsepower at the  bit and low, high shear-rate viscosity for maximum penetration rates

• Viscous laminar flow in the annulus for improved wellbore stability with maximum hole-cleaning and suspension capacity • Mixes easily

• It can not only fasten the well bore, but decrease the damage to oil formation. It can also greatly raise the efficiency of drilling, work over and completion. As a bio type oil Driver, Oil drilling and exploitation grade UNIVIS-BORE D can improve oil extraction rate and utilization factor of natural resources. The more important point is that it can furthest and protect natural environment

Recommended Treatment

The amount of UNIVIS-BORE D biopolymer required depends upon the desired viscosity. Normal concentrations range from 0.25 to 2 lb/bbl (0.71 to 5.7 kg/m3) for most mud systems. Special fluids and difficult hole-cleaning conditions can require higher concentrations of, up to 4 lb/bbl (11.4 kg/m3). The addition of salt, an antioxidant and thermal stabilizer improve temperature stability in fluids from 250 to >2800F (121 to >1380C).

Limitation

Trivalent ions such as chromium and iron can cause UNIVIS-BORE precipitation and loss of viscosity or cross linking·

Not tolerant of high pH or high calcium ion conditions·

UNIVIS-BORE systems should be pretreated prior to drilling cement

Subject to bacterial degradation – a biocide should be used to prevent fermentation·
The slightly anionic nature of UNIVIS-BORE requires special mixing procedures when the product is mixed with cationic materials
