TORREX®

High Temperature Polymer for fluid loss control.

Introduction

TORREX is a high-temperature synthetic polymer specifically designed for demanding drilling applications, optimized to operate effectively within downhole temperature ranges of 180-200°C. Its primary function is to deliver robust filtration control in water-based muds under high-temperature conditions. This polymer demonstrates excellent compatibility with common additives and performs reliably across diverse salinity environments, including KCl,saturated NaCl, and high-concentration formate brines. TORREX L’s adaptability makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of challenging drilling conditions.

Applications/Functions

Water – based drilling fluids ranging from fresh water to any salinity levels.
