theological control agent Explanation: www.freepatentsonline.com/6797675. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 mins (2008-10-13 00:59:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- sorry: just too tires: rheological control agent Rheological control agents, and specifically viscosifiers, are among the most important drilling mud components because such agents permit the muds to function under diverse shear conditions -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2008-10-13 01:01:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- both are accepted, but for obvious reason rheological seems to be more down to earth -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 27 mins (2008-10-13 01:08:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Xanthan gum was chosen as the theology control agent for the mud, based on the high efficiency of the polymer and its tolerance to salinity and hardness. The presence of the hydration suppressant stabilizes the xanthan gum in solution, giving theological control at temperatures up to 150[degrees]C (300[degrees]F). The polymer's high, Low-Shear-Rate Viscosity (LSRV) and efficient carrying capacity allow optimized theological control. This improves mud performance in extended reach and deep-water environments |
