AGA-161

Gelling Agents (AGA®) — Acid Gellants

In oilfield applications, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is the preferred rheology modifier for workover/ completion fluids since it helps provide clear, low- solids fluids that impart minimum formation damage, unlike some competitive polymers. It has applications in cementing and fracturing, as well as an additive for nondispersed muds, in brine fluid thickening, as a fluid loss controller, and reducer of hydraulic friction, among other things. AGA-161 is a viscosifier in workover and completion fluids and is compatible with biocides, oxygen scavengers, fluid loss controllers and foam control agents. HEC products are manufactured in a variety of viscosity grades.
