C1W GLYCOL LC (PDS)

General Description

C1W GLYCOL LC polyglycol is a Low-cloud-point additive designed for Low-to-Medium salinity polyglycol
systems. It can provide improved wellbore stability, lubricity, high-temperature filtration control, plus reduce
dilution rates and bit balling. While polyglycols are most effective when used in conjunction with an inhibitive
salt, such as KCl, in a non-dispersed polymer system, they can be used as additives in most water-base systems.
C1W GLYCOL LC polyglycol is acceptable for most applications specifying low-toxicity additives.

Applications

C1W GLYCOL LC product has application in polyglycol systems in fresh-to-medium high salinity make-up
water and can be used in wells with moderate formation temperatures. When used properly, this medium-cloud-
point additive helps to stabilize troublesome shales by plugging shale pores, preventing the equalization of
hydrostatic pressure away from the wellbore.
Polyglycol systems are generally low-to-medium density, non-dispersed polymer systems utilizing an electrolyte
to activate the cloud point polyglycol. They have application where troublesome water-sensitive shales are to be
drilled, and can be used in lieu of oil-base systems for certain applications. C1W GLYCOL LC polyglycol can
be used in thermally activated mud emulsion (TAME) applications (near the cloud point) or in situations where
it is insoluble (above the cloud point).
“Cloud point” is the temperature where polyglycol additives change from being soluble (at lower temperatures)
to being insoluble (at higher temperatures). Shale inhibition is improved when the polyglycol is insoluble or
“clouded out.” The cloud point temperature can be reduced by increasing salinity (or other electrolytes) and/or
by increasing the concentration of C1W GLYCOL LC polyglycol.

Limitations

As an insoluble liquid it causes slight increases in plastic viscosity

Handling and Storage
