Hydroxyethyl Cellulose Ether for Petroleum

Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is a water-soluble high molecular weight substance
Subcompounds are commonly used in various industrial fields, including the petroleum industry. HEC is made from cellulose through ether
The product obtained from the chemical reaction has good solubility, viscosity control ability, and stability, therefore
It has a wide range of applications in the petroleum industry.
Hydroxyethylcellulose plays an important role in petroleum drilling. Add an appropriate amount of drilling fluid
HEC, It can improve the viscosity and stability of drilling fluid, reduce the loss of drilling fluid and mud overflow
Out. In addition, HEC can also act as a suspension and dispersant, effectively preventing formation collapse
Reduce losses and improve drilling efficiency.
Hydroxyethylcellulose is also widely used in oilfield development. Add an appropriate amount of thickening agent to the reservoir
HEC, It can increase the fluid viscosity of the reservoir, reduce the phenomenon of oil-water separation, and improve the oil recovery rate. this
In addition, HEC can also act as a sand trap and gelling agent, effectively preventing the blockage of sand layers and gelling
Keep the oil well unobstructed.
