Solubility Soluble in water

APPLICATION

  • Stabilize water-sensitive formations, Reduce bit-balling.
  • Increase rheological properties of drilling fluids.
  • Provide mud lubricity in low pressure situations.
  • Flocculate drilled solids when used in low concentrations.
  • Enhance the yield of bentonite clays in low solids drilling systems.

RECOMMENDED TREATMENT

  • PHPA LIQUID is easy to mix and yields rapidly. PHPA active concentration of the active system should be maintained in the range of 0.5 - 1.5 lb/bbl by constant additions.
  • The normal application is 1.75 to 3.5 lb/bbl used in combination with KCl at 3 - 8% provides effective inhibition.
