PETRO-MOD is a liquid organic gelling agent used as a low end rheology modifier in invert emulsion drilling fluids. PETRO-MOD is used to modify rheological properties, increasing shear thinning and thixotropic properties. The product is designed to work synergistically with Bri-Chem’s base fluids and Bri-Chem’s PETRO-line of products.
3-15 L/m³
Less PETRO-MOD is required in high brine content. PETRO-MOD is activated by
calcium, shear and temperature. Circulation downhole through the drill string is
required for full activation.
