Product Description

Product Description

SHARKXAN^® L viscosifier is a xanthan gum polymer dispersed in a liquid carrier. It is used to viscosify fresh water, seawater and monovalent brines.  SHARKXAN^® L viscosifier disperses and mixes even more easily than SHARKXAN^® L viscosifier with little shear and does not generate fish-eyes. SHARKXAN^® L can provide excellent suspension and shear-thinning properties and be used up to 250°F. SHARKXAN^® L biopolymer is subject to bacterial degradation, and treatments with biocide is recommended to prevent fermentation. At mud pH values above 10.0, SHARKXAN^® L becomes more sensitive to soluble calcium and may be precipitated out of solution, however, it can be added to most waters regardless of salinity.

Applications/Functions

• Viscosify fresh water and brine-based fluids used for drilling, milling, underreaming, and gravel packing operations
• Suspend bridging agents and weighting materials in fresh water and brine systems

Advantages

• Disperse rapidly and with minimal shearing requirement
• Shear-thinning rheological profile for improved hydraulics
• Provides excellent suspension without the need for clays
• Minimize the potential for formation damage
• Stable up to 250°F

Typical Properties

• Appearance: Off-white suspension;
• Specific gravity: 1.1

Recommended Treatment

• A typical range is 0.5-2 ppb. SHARKXAN^® L can be mixed directly into the system through the hopper

Package

• 5 GAL PAIL
