PAC in Deepwater Drilling: Pros and Cons
Pros of PAC in Deepwater Drilling Deepwater drilling, also known as offshore drilling, is a process that involves extracting oil and gas from beneath the ocean floor. This type of drilling presents unique challenges due to the extreme depths at which it takes place. To address these challenges, the use of Polyanionic Cellulose (PAC) has […]
PAC’s Role in Preventing Differential Sticking
Proper Selection of PACs for Preventing Differential Sticking Proper selection of Polyanionic Cellulose (PAC) is crucial in preventing differential sticking in drilling operations. PAC is a common additive used in drilling fluids to prevent differential sticking, which occurs when the drill pipe becomes stuck in the wellbore due to differential pressure between the wellbore and […]
How to Select the Right PAC Grade for Your Well
Factors to Consider When Choosing a PAC Grade for Your Well Polyaluminum chloride (PAC) is a commonly used coagulant in water treatment processes, particularly in well water treatment. Selecting the right PAC grade for your well is crucial to ensure effective treatment and optimal water quality. There are several factors to consider when choosing a […]
Common Mistakes When Using PAC in Drilling Fluids
Poorly Maintained PAC Properties Polyanionic cellulose (PAC) is a commonly used additive in drilling fluids to help control fluid loss and increase viscosity. However, there are several common mistakes that can occur when using PAC that can negatively impact its performance. One of the most common mistakes is poorly maintained PAC properties. When PAC is […]
