Modified starch makes the access to oil and gas deposits easy! Drilling starch is a chemically modified variant of starch derived from Maize, Potato and Tapioca that plays a crucial cameo in the complex and challenging process of oil and gas drilling. It helps by controlling the viscosity and fluid properties of the mixture of fluids, solids and chemicals, combinedly called the ‘mud’; used for perforating, lubricating and helping move the broken rock out of the way while drilling.
The starch molecules absorb water and then work like a thick gel that sticks to the walls of the hole being drilled. This gel seals the walls, preventing the precious drilling fluid from leaking into the surrounding rocks. Think of it as a plug in a leaky faucet to stop the water from dripping out. This helps keep the drilling process efficient and prevents the loss of valuable drilling fluid.
Additionally, Drilling starch can also enhance the filter cake formation on the borehole walls, further reducing fluid loss by creating a more robust barrier against fluid migration.
As hydrocarbon exploration is becoming more challenging especially during drilling in ultradeep water and high temperature and high pressure formations, conventional drilling muds fail to be effective as the high temperature and pressure alters the rheological properties of the drilling fluid.
Bluecraft Agro offers an economic yet highly effective solution to this challenging and complex procedure. We produce three impressive starches that simplify the task of drilling oil and gas, namely, High temperature drilling starch (HTDS), Low temperature drilling starch (DS) and DRILFLO 1009TM Carboxymethyl Starch (CMS)
HTDS, is a modified starch based filtration control agent that meets all high temperature drilling requirements. Bluecraft’s HTDS will reduce filtrate in freshwater as well as saturated salt environment whilst not increasing the fluid viscosity. Our uniquely engineered modified starch ensures seamless functionality without compromising fluid viscosity, making it a reliable choice for applications in both Drilling Fluid and reservoir settings.
