SUREMOD

Liquid rheology modifier

SUREMOD is an organic gelling agent that works as a liquid rheology modifier for the NOVA synthetic‐base drilling fluid systems. It increases low‐shear‐rate viscosities (LSRV) and gel strengths to improve hole cleaning. The primary application for SUREMOD is in large‐diameter, high‐angle, horizontal and extended‐reach wells to increase cuttings‐carrying capacity. This permits higher rates of penetration while maintaining wellbore stability. When used at the proper concentrations, SUREMOD produces the highly shear‐thinning rheological profile necessary for effective hole cleaning in deviated wells.
