Peptize

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002730

To disperse aggregated solid particles into a stable colloidal suspension within a drilling fluid. This action involves breaking down larger clumps of material, such as clay, into finer, individually suspended particles. Peptizing agents, like certain polymers or dispersants, are added to achieve this effect, maintaining the fluid's rheology and filter cake quality.
