PAC Gains Traction in Oil & Gas Industry as a Key Drilling Fluid Additive

[Houston, March 31, 2025] – Polyanionic Cellulose (PAC) is witnessing increased demand in the oil & gas industry, particularly in drilling fluid formulations. As oil exploration moves into deeper and more challenging terrains, high-performance filtration control agents like PAC are becoming essential for stabilizing boreholes, reducing fluid loss, and improving mud viscosity.

Recent field tests conducted in offshore drilling sites indicate that PAC-LV (low viscosity) and PAC-HV (high viscosity) variants are enhancing wellbore stability and minimizing environmental impact. Additionally, PAC’s biodegradable properties are attracting attention as the industry seeks greener alternatives to conventional drilling chemicals.

With major oil producers ramping up operations in the Middle East, North America, and Africa, the PAC market is expected to grow steadily. Industry leaders are now focusing on developing customized PAC solutions to optimize drilling performance in high-temperature and high-salinity environments.
