Environmental and Economic Benefits of WF-3L Liquid Fluid-Loss Additive (Acrylamide Type)

Eco-Friendly Design

With rising HSE (Health, Safety, Environment) standards in the oil and gas industry, WF-3L is engineered for sustainability:

Non-toxic formulation: Certified by SGS to meet EU REACH regulations for heavy metals (As, Hg, Pb, Cd < limits). Biodegradability complies with OECD 301 standards.

Low fluorescence response: Lacks aromatic rings, minimizing interference with logging tools in complex geological settings.

Simple waste disposal: Unreacted monomer residues <0.5%, with combustion products limited to CO₂ and H₂O, avoiding secondary pollution.

Cost Efficiency

Reduced dosage: Recommended at 4–8% (by cement mass), saving 30%+ versus traditional HEC. For a well using 20 tons of cement, material costs drop by ~$1,600.

Faster operations: Liquid form cuts mixing time, and automation reduces rig time by 0.5–1 hour per well, lowering drilling rig day rates.

Long-term savings: Fluid loss control reduces remediation needs. Statistics show a 65% drop in rework rates for WF-3L wells, saving >$28,000 per well in total costs.

Industry Trends

As drilling targets shift to deepwater, shale gas, and other unconventional plays, WF-3L’s eco-friendly and cost-effective profile makes it ideal for "green completion" technologies. In North American shale horizontal wells, its compatibility with low-density cement systems addresses wellbore integrity challenges in multistage fracturing.
