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.
