KLA-SHIELD

Overview Library

Enhanced polymer water-based system that meets all drilling, environmental targets

The high performing KLA-SHIELD is an enhanced-polymer water-based drilling fluid system employs a  broad range of polyamines. This composition makes it ideal in areas where environmental guidelines dictate a water-based fluid with hole conditions that demand flexibility. 

With KLA-SHIELD, M-I SWACO engineered a system that delivers a customized approach in both the selection and concentration of polyamine additive for your particular project. This capability gives you a water-base system that is fine-tuned to meet a variety of drilling challenges, including large diameter wellbores, extended-reach applications and highly reactive shales.

Features and Benefits

  • Polyamine base for enhanced environmental performance over potassium chloride-based systems
  • Flexible enough to meet geological and performance requirements
  • Optimizes  waste management
  • Superior stabilization in fractured shales
  • Economical and technical solutions to water--based fluid issues
  • Easy to build and maintain systems for enhanced inhibition and reduced costs
  • Ideal for drilling high-angle wells in reactive shale formations
  • More tolerant to contamination with drill solids
  • Reduced clay dispersion and hydration
