RXSOL DrillMax XPM Drilling Polymer
Product Code: RXSOL-81-6552-025

Product Description

A free-flowing powder blend combining high-efficiency  for low-shear rate viscosity and cut carrying, and components for fluid-loss control and additional viscosity, and selected base for base gel/plugging and suspension stability. Designed for freshwater and low-salinity brine systems in HDD, water-well, mineral exploration and civil drilling.

Product Short Description

Delivers exceptional viscosity, suspension, and fluid-loss control, providing stable rheology for HDD, water-well, and mineral-exploration drilling in fresh or low-salinity water systems.

Product Application

Applications  of drilling polymer powder
  • Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) – Lubricates and stabilizes boreholes, suspends cuttings, and reduces torque/drag.
  • Water-Well Drilling – Improves carrying capacity and maintains hole integrity in sand, silt, and gravel formations.
  • Geotechnical & Exploration Drilling – Controls fluid loss and maintains stable mud properties in core drilling and mineral exploration.
  • Civil Construction Boring & Micro-Tunneling – Provides a thixotropic gel for easy spoil removal and minimal surface disturbance.

Product Dose

How to use

Application Dosage (kg/m³) Notes
Pilot/Spud / Water-Well 2–4 General hole cleaning & gel strength
HDD / Directional 3–6 For sand/silt; increase for coarse gravels
Fluid-loss Reduction 4–7 For permeable formations
Wiper/Conditioning Pills 5–8 Short exposure, higher rheology

 

Process to follow for Drilling Polymer Powder usage in Rigs Oilfield

  • Treat make-up water: Adjust pH 8.5–9.5 with soda ash; reduce hardness (Ca²⁺ <150 ppm).
  • Eductor/hopper feed: With good vortex, slowly sprinkle the powder—avoid clumping (“fish eyes”).
  • Shear: Circulate through mud hopper or jet mixer. Avoid extreme shear that can degrade the product.
  • Hydration time: Allow 20–30 minutes for primary hydration; properties continue to build over 1–2 hours.
  • Conditioning: Check PV/YP/gel strengths and API fluid loss; trim with additional blend as needed.
  • Compatibility: Works with common additives (KCl, soda ash, biocides, defoamers). Pilot-test with high salinity or divalent-rich waters.

Product Note

Features and Benefits of Drilling Polymer Powder

  • Rapid hole cleaning & cuttings suspension (high LSRV).
  • Reduced filtration / wall cake permeability (Polymer + bentonite synergy).
  • Stable rheology over wide shear rates; good suspension at low pump rates.
  • Improves borehole stability and reduces torque/drag in HDD.
  • Performs in a broad pH window; tolerant to moderate salinity/hardness.

Always do pilot testing before product usage.

Remarks

Key Functions & Advantages of Drilling Polymer Powder
  • Cuttings Suspension & Transport – High low-shear viscosity keeps cuttings in suspension during pauses or low pump rates.
  • Fluid-Loss Control – Creates a thin, low-permeability filter cake to protect formation walls and reduce water loss.
  • Lubrication – Reduces friction between drill string and borehole, lowering torque and wear on equipment.
  • Formation Stabilization – Seals unconsolidated zones and prevents sloughing or collapse.
  • Versatility – Works in fresh water and low-salinity brines; compatible with common drilling additives.
