Abstract

A low-end rheology modifier for adjusting rheological characteristics of water-based drilling fluid systems, particularly for high salt, high density drilling fluids in high temperature and high-pressure applications. The low end rheology modifier comprises a copolymer and laponite clay, the copolymer comprising tert-Butylacrylamidosulfonic acid (TBAS) and n-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) crosslinked with N,N′-Methylenebis(acrylamide).
