APPLICATIONS

Carry Flow is a versatile additive that enhances low shear viscosity for effective cuttings transport and suspension in all water-based drilling fluids, including freshwater, seawater, salt, and brine systems.

It is highly thixotropic, creating a rheological profile with elevated low-shear viscosity and shear-thinning properties. This means the fluid maintains low viscosity at high shear rates inside the drill string, reducing pressure losses and optimising drilling speed. Low shear rates in the annulus provide high viscosity for efficient, well-cleaning and cuttings suspension.

Any biopolymer is subject to bacterial degradation, and treatments with a biocide are recommended to prevent fermentation if used for prolonged periods.
