Product Overview
Tiger Drill is a liquid polymer designed to provide rapid viscosity, encapsulation of cuttings, shale and clay stabilization, improved core recovery and reduced friction to water based fluid systems while removing the problems associated with mixing powdered polymers.
Applications
Tiger Drill’s primary function is to provide rapid viscosity in fresh water drilling fluids while also providing clay stabilization and borehole stability through inhibition of water to the formation. Rotational torque and circulating pressure is reduced through increased lubricity. Core recovery is enhanced in diamond drilling as a result of the above properties.
Advantages
- Inhibits hydratable, dispersive shales
- Improves core recovery and penetration rates
- Environmentally safe and non-fermenting
- Can be broken down easily with bleach
- Compatible with most other Tiger Fluids additives
- Cost effective
Typical Properties
- Appearance
- Milky white liquid
- pH (1% Aqueous solution)
- 7.0 – 8.0
Mixing & Dosage
Tiger Drill should be mixed slowly into the circulating system using agitation or a venturi mixer.
- Normal drilling conditions – 1 to 2 litres/m³
Rates are a guide and vary with hole conditions, make-up water and formation. Confirm against the data sheet or call our technical team.
