About High Temperature Drilling starch

The High Temperature Drilling starch is a polymer derived from the unmodified starch including amylopectin content. It has epichlorohydrin and has a viscosity which to reach to the maximum value. This starch has fermentation stability and can be hydroxypropylated. It gives enhanced high temperature fluid loss performance when works in combination with drilling fluids. The High Temperature Drilling starch is also used in other applications. Offered with a high temperature tolerance, it is apt for drilling, work-over or completion fluid loss and works as a control additive appropriate for its utilization in high temperatures. It has optimal use in all water-based drilling, stimulation and completion fluids. This starch can meet all industrial standards.

Key Features:

Keep up liquid loss control at up to 300^oF.
At high temperatures help in stabilizing rheology.
Does not ferment Treatment Rate, Typical.
1 4 ppb, as essential to control liquid loss.
Higher temperatures (above 150F) may be needful to activate HT Starch to supply effective rheology and fluid loss control totally as a binding agent.

Exceptional Thermal Stability

Engineered to maintain high viscosity and stability at temperatures up to 150C, this drilling starch ensures fluid loss control even in deep and hot wells. Its robust thermal properties make it suitable for a range of oil and gas drilling operations in challenging environments.

Efficient Fluid Loss Control

By forming an effective filter cake, the starch significantly reduces filtration loss, providing better wellbore integrity and operational safety. Its high purity and dispersibility guarantee consistent performance in water-based drilling muds.

Safe Packaging and Convenient Storage

Packed in heavy-duty HDPE bags with inner liners, each 25 kg pack safeguards the product from moisture and contamination. The products shelf life of 12 months ensures you have a reliable supply, whether youre a distributor, exporter, or drilling contractor.

FAQs of High Temperature Drilling starch:

Q: How is high temperature drilling starch applied in oil and gas drilling operations?

A: High temperature drilling starch is directly added to water-based drilling mud systems, where it disperses in cold water and helps control fluid loss while improving mud rheology, especially in high-temperature drilling conditions.

Q: What benefits does this starch offer at elevated drilling temperatures?

A: Thanks to its thermal stability up to 150C and high viscosity, it maintains fluid loss control and mud consistency, preventing wellbore stability issues often encountered during deep or high-temperature drilling operations.

Q: When should I use this drilling starch over standard varieties?

A: This product is recommended when drilling under elevated temperature conditions (up to 150C) or where superior fluid loss control and stable rheology are critical for safe and efficient drilling performance.

Q: Where can the high temperature drilling starch be sourced?

A: It is available through reputed distributors, exporters, manufacturers, suppliers, and wholesalers across India, ensuring timely supply for both domestic and international drilling projects.

Q: What is the process for incorporating drilling starch into a mud system?

A: The modified starch should be added gradually to the mud system, ensuring even dispersion. Its cold-water solubility allows easy mixing, and the additive starts working to reduce filter loss and enhance viscosity right away.

Q: How does this product improve the safety and performance of drilling operations?

A: By controlling fluid loss and maintaining rheology under challenging thermal conditions, it helps prevent formation damage, loss circulation, and wellbore instability, thus improving operational safety and efficiency.
