OilChem STARH HT – High-Temperature Starch for Advanced Drilling Fluid Control
Oil Chemistry Industrial Company (OilChem) is a leading Saudi Arabian producer of specialty chemicals. The company provides innovative solutions for the oil and gas industry. With a strong focus on performance and precision, OilChem continues to meet the evolving challenges of drilling operations. One of OilChem’s top-performing products is STARH HT. This premium-grade starch helps control filtration in water-based drilling muds, even under extreme temperature conditions.
Enhanced Filtration Control for Water-Based Muds
STARH HT is a high-quality, pregelatinized starch specifically formulated to reduce fluid loss in water-based drilling systems. It performs exceptionally well in high-temperature environments, making it ideal for deep drilling or regions with elevated thermal gradients. As operators face increasing geological complexity, STARH HT offers a dependable solution to maintain wellbore stability and control filtrate loss effectively.
Unlike traditional starches, STARH HT maintains its structural integrity and viscosity-modifying capabilities even when exposed to elevated bottom-hole temperatures. This resilience ensures that the drilling fluid remains consistent and reliable throughout operations, minimizing risks and improving overall efficiency.
Reliable Performance Where It Matters Most
STARH HT plays a critical role in forming a protective, low-permeability filter cake along the wellbore. This barrier prevents excessive fluid invasion, protects the formation, and reduces differential sticking. By optimizing mud properties, it allows for smoother drilling and improved control in pressure-sensitive zones.
The product is compatible with a wide range of water-based formulations and can be easily mixed on-site using standard blending procedures. This flexibility makes it suitable for both primary mud design and remedial adjustments during active drilling.
Manufactured with Quality and Consistency
OilChem produces STARH HT under strict quality assurance protocols. Each batch meets key performance standards for thermal stability, solubility, and filtration control. Thanks to its proven field reliability, this additive remains a trusted part of OilChem’s advanced drilling fluid lineup.
