NOVAMOD Rheology Modifier

NOVAMOD™ organic gelling agent is a liquid rheology modifier used in NOVADRIL®, NOVAPLUS® and NOVATEC™ synthetic-base mud systems. It increases low-shear-rate viscosities (LSRVs) and gel strengths for improved hole cleaning. The primary application for NOVAMOD agent is in large-diameter, high-angle, horizontal and extended-reach wells to increase cuttings-carrying capacity. This permits higher rates of penetration while maintaining wellbore stability. NOVAMOD rheology modifier, when used at proper concentrations, produces the highly shear-thinning rheological profile necessary for proper hole cleaning in deviated wells.
