Drilling Fluids and Chemicals
Drill Smarter, Stay In Gauge
Hole stability, rate of penetration and formation integrity all start with the right mud recipe. We stock 1 200 t of barite, 75 t of PHPA and multiple polymer additives ready for immediate call-off.
- Weighting Agents (API 13 A)
- Barite 4.10 SG and 4.20 SG—certified to the latest Addendum 2 of API Spec 13 A (19th Ed).
- Hematite (Fe₂O₃) for mud weights above 19 ppg.
- Viscosifiers & Rheology Modifiers
| Product | Function | Recommended Concentration |
| OCMA Bentonite | Primary viscosity builder | 15–25 lb/bbl |
| Attapulgite | High-salinity viscosifier | 6–12 lb/bbl |
| XCD Polymer | Shear-thinning, LSRV boost | 0.5–1.0 lb/bbl |
- Fluid-Loss & Shale-Control Chemistry
- PAC-R & PAC-LV—API filtrate ≤ 15 mL.
- Modified potato starch—stable to 170 °C BHCT.
- PHPA (High, Medium, Low MW) dispersible granules; compatible with KCl substitutes.
- Lost-Circulation Materials (LCM)
Fine, medium and coarse grades of calcium carbonate, graphite, mica flakes and ground walnut shell to bridge fractures up to 2 mm aperture.
- Completion & Workover Fluids
Potassium Formate brine (SG 1.58), CaCl₂/CaBr₂ blends and low-solids drill-in fluid packages complete with lubricity enhancers and high-temperature biocides.
Quality & Compliance
- Each bag or pallet ships with Certificate of Analysis, batch number and QR code linking to SDS.
- Regular audits under ISO 9001 : 2015; lab adherence to API RP 13B-1 & 2 test methods.
Application Support Our field chemists can:
- Run API mud checks on-site.
- Optimize gel strength vs ECD for slim-hole trajectories.
- Design biodegradable synthetic-based muds to meet state PCB discharge norms.
