Econo Pac LV

PAC-LV™ and PAC-R™ – High-Performance Polyanionic Cellulose Additives by Economy Mud Products

Introducing PAC-LV™ and PAC-R™, the latest advancements from Economy Mud Products, expertly engineered to meet the rigorous demands of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), Trenchless applications, and oilfield drilling operations. Formulated and manufactured with precision, these premium Polyanionic Cellulose (PAC) additives—available in low-viscosity (PAC-LV™) and regular/high-viscosity (PAC-R™) grades—deliver unmatched performance in water-based drilling fluids, surpassing industry standards for fluid control and borehole stability.

Designed to outperform leading cellulose-based additives, PAC-LV™ and PAC-R™ offer a powerful blend of fluid loss control, viscosity enhancement, and shale inhibition, making them indispensable for any HDD, trenchless, or oilfield drilling fluid program.

Key Benefits:

• Superior Fluid Loss Control: Reduces filtrate volume to ≤16 mL (PAC-LV™) and ≤23 mL (PAC-R™) per API standards, protecting formations and maintaining well integrity.
• Enhanced Viscosity & Suspension: PAC-R™ boosts fluid carrying capacity, while PAC-LV™ ensures stability with minimal viscosity increase, optimizing cuttings suspension.
• Shale Inhibition: Prevents hydration and swelling of reactive clays and shales, ensuring stable boreholes in challenging conditions.
• Reduced Torque & Drag: Lubricates the drill string, improving efficiency and extending tool life in long bores.
• Borehole Stabilization: Forms a thin, low-permeability filter cake to support borehole walls and minimize instability.
• Environmental Compatibility: Biodegradable (20–70% DOC, OECD 302A) and non-toxic to aquatic life, suitable for sensitive regions like the North Sea.

Application:

PAC-LV™ and PAC-R™ are highly compatible with freshwater-based drilling systems and can be combined with bentonite and other additives to create customized fluid programs tailored to specific ground conditions. Whether drilling through reactive shales, stabilizing extended-reach wells, or optimizing fluid performance in HDD and trenchless projects, PAC-LV™ and PAC-R™ deliver the reliable performance and fluid control you need to maximize uptime and protect your bottom line. Economy Mud Products make good $ense!
