Partially Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide | Phpa Powder | Anionic Drilling Polymer

PETRA PHPA P is a high molecular weight; anionic Partially Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide supplied in free-flowing white crystalline powder form. It is widely used in water-based drilling fluids for shale inhibition, fluid loss control, viscosity enhancement, and borehole stabilization. It is compatible with PAC, CMC, biopolymers, and bentonite systems.

What is PHPA Powder?

PHPA Powder is a water-soluble anionic polymer used in drilling operations to prevent shale swelling, reduce clay dispersion, and improve drilling fluid performance. It encapsulates cuttings and enhances wellbore stability in reactive formations.

Key Features:

  • Low, medium and high molecular weight anionic polymer
  • Prevents shale erosion and swelling
  • Improves viscosity and fluid loss control
  • Encapsulates cuttings effectively
  • Compatible with common drilling additives
Oil wetting agent oil base mud additive

Applications of PHPA P

  • Water-Based Mud Systems Provides shale inhibition and fluid loss control in freshwater and brine systems.
  • Low-Solids Non-Dispersed Mud Acts as a bentonite extender and improves suspension of heavy solids.
  • Clear Water Drilling Functions as a flocculant to separate solids and maintain clear drilling fluid.
  • Reactive Shale Formations Encapsulates shale and minimizes dispersion.
  • Industrial & EOR Applications Used in enhanced oil recovery and water treatment processes.
