Absorbent Polymer for Lost Circulation
Description
DIAMOND SEAL is a water-swellable but not water-soluble, 100% crystalline synthetic polymer. DIAMOND SEAL absorbs hundreds of times its own weight in water. It is intended for use primarily as a lost circulation material for horizontal directional drilling.
Applications/Functions
(Prior to pumping, remove all in-line screens in circulating system)
Add the following to existing drilling fluid and displace:
BAROLIFT® - 0.25 – 0.5 lb/100 gallons (0.3 – 0.6 kg/m3)
N-SEALTM - 3 – 5 lb/100 gallons (3.6 – 6.0 kg/m3)
DIAMOND SEAL - 10 – 20 lb/100 gallons (12 – 24 kg/m3)
- Lost circulation material for horizontal directional drilling
- Prevent inadvertent returns in river crossing applications
- Stabilize borehole in cobble and gravel
- Stabilize unconsolidated formations
- Rapid water absorption
- Effective in mitigating lost circulation
- Economical-small quantity yields large volume
- Easy to use
- Non-fermenting
- Add ½ to 1 pound (0.25 - .5 kg) DIAMOND SEAL per joint
- Add DIAMOND SEAL at 10 – 20 lb/100 gallons of drilling fluid
- Add DIAMOND SEAL at 12 – 24 kg/m3 of drilling fluid
