Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002682

An abbreviation for polyalkylene glycol, a class of synthetic polymers used in water-based drilling fluids as shale inhibitors and lubricity additives. PAGs work by encapsulating shale particles and reducing their hydration, thereby improving wellbore stability. They are often chosen for their environmental profile and performance in challenging formations.
