Carboxymethyl Starch

01 Overview

Carboxymethyl starch is a polymer compound produced through the chemical modification of starch. It exhibits excellent water solubility and thickening properties, making it commonly used as a fluid loss reducer in drilling fluids. Carboxymethyl starch effectively reduces fluid loss in drilling fluids, thereby minimizing formation damage and maintaining wellbore stability.

Carboxymethyl Starch for oildrilling

CMS-R

Overview

Carboxymethyl Starch is an anionic starch ether. it can be hydrated in cold water and is not easy to mildew. It has obvious effect of reducing fluid loss in drilling fluid, and has little effect on the viscosity of drilling fluid. CMS-R has the characteristics of high-temperature resistance and salt resistance, and is suitable for the preparation of various environmentally friendly drilling fluid systems; it has a high acid solubility and is beneficial to protecting hydrocarbon reservoir. The general addition amount is 1-2%.

High-Temperature Resistant Carboxymethyl Starch for oildrilling

CMS-H

Overview

By chemically modifying Carboxymethyl Starch, the high-temperature resistance can be increased to over 130°C. Whether it is in fresh water or salt water, the fluid loss reduction performance is excellent, and it is biodegradable, which meets the requirements of marine drilling for environmental protection.The general addition amount is 1-2%.
