Drilling polymers are commonly used in drilling operations to increase the viscosity of drilling fluids, improve the sand-carrying capacity of drilling fluids, and reduce wellbore friction. Our drilling polymer products can be tailored specifically to the saltwater well drilling environment in terms of polymer type and concentration.

Drilling polymers can form high molecular weight polymer chains in the drilling fluid and increase the viscosity of the drilling fluid, thereby improving the carrying capacity of suspended solid particles. In saltwater wells, the viscosity-enhancing effect of the polymer may be affected by salinity. Some polymers may lose some of their viscosity-enhancing effects under high-salinity conditions because salt ions interact with the polymer molecules, reducing the connectivity of the polymer chains.

The anti-friction effect of drilling polymers can form a protective film between the well wall and the drill bit, reducing the direct contact between the well wall and the drill bit, thereby reducing friction and wear. The wear-reducing effect is usually related to the adsorption properties and film-forming ability of the polymer. For saltwater wells, the wear-reducing effectiveness of our drilling polymer products can be adjusted based on the salinity and other factors of the drilling environment. Therefore, before selecting and using drilling polymers, you should contact our business personnel first. After conducting relevant experiments and evaluations, we will recommend more suitable drilling fluid products.
