XG-SLURRY
Viscosifier and Rheology Modifier for Drilling Fluids

Manufactured by Oil Energy, Russia
XG-SLURRY Viscosifier and Rheology Modifier for Drilling Fluids

Product description

XG-SLURRY is a stable suspension of high-quality xanthan biopolymer in mineral oil.
The product is used as an efficient viscosifier in fresh-water and salt-saturated drilling fluid systems, as well as in well completion fluids.

Physical Properties and Chemical Composition

Suspension of a high-molecular-weight anionic polysaccharide (xanthan gum) in a hydrocarbon environment

Benefits

Highly efficient as a viscosifier
  • -1-
    Compatible with most fluid systems, both fresh-water and salt-saturated
  • -2-
    High sag stability of weighted fluids
  • -3-
    Imparts thixotropic properties to the system in which it is used
  • -4-
    Disperses rapidly without lumps or "fish eyes"
  • -5-
    Способствуют Helps reduce the fluid loss of the system
  • -6-
    Withstands several freeze-thaw cycles without loss of quality

Application and Dosage Recommendations

  • Recommended concentrations of XG-SLURRY rheology modifier are 2 to 10 kg/m³, depending on the required viscosity of the drilling or completion fluid
  • Application temperature range: up to 120 °C

Packaging and Storage Conditions

XG-SLURRY is packed in plastic canisters of up to 50 kg or 1 m³ IBC containers. Store in a dry, warm room away from moisture and heating appliances

Safety Requirements

Personal protective equipment must be used when handling XG-SLURRY.
Further information is given in the product Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)

Q&A from Oil Energy Experts

XG-SLURRY is used to increase low-shear-rate viscosity and improve cuttings suspension in water-based drilling fluids. The product stabilizes rheological properties, maintains efficient hole cleaning and helps ensure reliable transport of drilled cuttings over a wide range of circulation regimes
