Polyols
Advanced Shale inhibitor for water based drilling fluids

Why Use Polyols in Drilling Fluids ?

Superior Shale Inhibition

Polyols effectively penetrate shale formations and form hydrogen bonds with clay surfaces, reducing water uptake and minimizing clay swelling and dispersion.

Thermally Stable

Our polyol additives remain stable under high downhole temperatures, making them suitable for deep wells and high-temperature environments.

Enhanced Lubrication and Wellbore Stability

Polyols act as lubricants within the fluid system, helping to reduce torque and drag while maintaining the structural integrity of the borehole.

Compatibility with Other Additives

Polyol-based products from KCS Drilling Fluid are designed to work seamlessly with other components such as inhibitors, filtration reducers, and viscosifiers, making them a flexible addition to various water-based systems.

Tailored for Modern Drilling Needs

As the drilling industry moves toward water-based solutions, polyols have become an important tool in bridging the performance gap between traditional oil-based muds and environmentally safer alternatives. With growing exploration in technically demanding formations, polyol-based additives offer a smart, sustainable solution for delivering consistent performance while minimizing formation damage.
At KCS Drilling Fluid, our focus is on creating smart fluid systems that combine innovation, environmental responsibility, and real-world performance. Our polyol solutions represent a key component in this mission - supporting operators with dependable inhibition and better borehole control throughout the drilling process.
