POROSEAL Plus

Latex-based fluid loss control sealant


APPLICATIONS POROSEAL Plus* latex-based fluid loss control sealant is used to provide a chemical barrier that seals
■■ Shale drilling low-permeability, microfractured formations in shale gas plays and unconventional reservoirs. The
■■ Unconventional reservoirs sealant, in the presence of other bridging agents, can provide excellent bridging characteristics to
water-based fluids. It also provides supplemental HTHP fluid loss control.
ADVANTAGES
■■ Aids sealing formations containing POROSEAL Plus sealant should be added at 5 to 15 lbm/bbl [14.27 to 42.8 kg/m3]. Pilot testing is strongly
microfractures and low permeability recommended to determine any adverse effects on the system properties for all initial applications and
large treatments. The performance of POROSEAL Plus sealant improves with salinity and can be used to
■■ Works in tandem with suitably designed
improve both wellbore stability and fluid-loss performance of highly inhibitive water-based fluids.
bridging package
■■ Assists HTHP fluid loss control This sealant is compatible with conventional water-based muds as well as high-performance fluids,
such as the ULTRADRIL* high-performance water-based drilling fluid system, HydraGlyde* high-
performance water-based drilling fluid system, and GLYDRIL* advanced polyglycol system.

Limitations
■■ Use only in water-based muds.
■■ Limit temperature to 350 degF [177 degC]. Pilot testing is recommended for applications
>250 degF [121 degC].

Toxicity and handling


Bioassay information is available upon request. Handle as an industrial chemical, wearing protective
equipment and observing the precautions described in the Material Safety Data Sheet.

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist. Avoid spills and splashing during use.

Packaging and storage


POROSEAL Plus sealant is packaged in 55-galUS [208-L] drums. Use specially constructed containers
only. Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep airborne concentrations below exposure limits. Keep
containers tightly closed in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place.
