FILTRATION CONTROL AGENT
PRODUCT DETAILS
- Product Name: Non-Invasive Fluid Additive (NIFA)
- Physical State: Free-flowing powder without visible impurities
- Product Color: Brown
- Mesh Size: 100 mesh
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- NIFA Filtration Control Agent is a modified natural polymer that reduces filtrate loss in most water-based drilling and drill-in fluids.
- It functions in freshwater through saturated salt environments and does not significantly increase fluid viscosity.
- NIFA can also be used to encapsulate drill cuttings & exposed wellbore formations, reducing particle dispersion and reactive clay/shale formation swelling.
APPLICATION / FUNCTION
- Helps control filtration in freshwater or electrolyte-based drilling fluid systems.
- Provides filtration control in environmentally sensitive areas.
ADVANTAGES
- Provides filtration control with minimal viscosity increase.
- Helps minimize dispersion of shale and clay cuttings.
- Effective in fresh water, sea water, salt water, and saturated salt water drilling fluids.
- Can be efficiently used in gypsum-treated and lime systems.
- Helps maintain filtration control when contaminated by brine water flows, salt, gypsum, anhydrite, cement, or other contaminants.
