Product Overview
Tiger Surecore is a dispersible high quality product which provides fluid loss control, viscosity, inhibition and encapsulation. Core recovery is significantly improved with the encapsulating layer of film that wraps itself around the core.
Applications
Tiger Surecore aids in the building of a tough, semi-impermeable filter cake, as well as inhibiting the hydration of water sensitive formations. Surecore can be used as a ‘one sack’ system as it provides all the necessary properties required to drill a successful hole.
