HydraGlyde
High-performance water-based drilling fluid system
Reduce torque, drag, shale swelling, and dispersion in environmentally sensitive shale.
Encapsulating additive
The HydraCap encapsulating additive is a low-molecular-weight, dry acrylic acid copolymer that provides excellent cuttings encapsulation by adsorbing onto the clay surfaces and forming a protective film that prevents cuttings from sticking to each other or the shaker screens. The additive limits dilution rates and low-gravity-solids loading by preventing clay solid from dispersing into the mud system.
