Product Overview
PEO MW 600,000 Polyethylene Oxide (CAS 25322-68-3) is a high-molecular-weight water-soluble polymer specially developed for water-based drilling fluid systems. Medium molecular weight PEO cannot deliver durable lubrication under high friction working conditions, while ultra-high molecular weight PEO may cause excessively high slurry viscosity and poor circulation. This 600k grade achieves balanced viscosity, drag reduction and lubricating performance. The polymer adsorbs onto drill pipe, casing and rock surfaces to build lubricating layers, reducing abrasion during horizontal and directional drilling. Meanwhile, it offers auxiliary suspension capacity for drill cuttings and weighting materials to improve hole cleaning efficiency.
Key Features
- Molecular Weight: 600,000, CAS 25322-68-3, white free-flowing fine powder
- Good water solubility, applicable to fresh water and medium salinity drilling fluid
- Excellent lubrication and drag reduction performance to lower drilling torque
- Form stable hydration film to mitigate abrasion and differential pressure sticking
- Wide applicable pH scope, compatible with viscosifiers, inhibitors and weighting agents
- Auxiliary suspension effect for drill cuttings and inorganic weighting solids
- Low fluorescence, will not interfere with well logging operations
Main Applications
- Lubricant and friction reducer for horizontal well and directional well water-based drilling mud
- Functional additive for shale gas, coal bed methane and geological exploration drilling fluid
- Anti-sticking auxiliary for extended reach well construction
- Environment-friendly polymer additive for onshore water-based drilling fluid formulations
Usage Guidance
Slowly disperse PEO powder into continuously stirred base fluid to avoid agglomeration, prepare dilute stock solution prior to use. Normal dosage: 0.05% ~ 0.3% based on total drilling fluid mass. Adjust dosage according to formation characteristics, well deviation angle and friction test results. Conduct laboratory performance evaluation before field application.
