Superior performance in wellbore integrity and optimized operations

Designed to be reliable in the most extreme downhole environments, Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ nonaqueous fluid systems provide the highest degree of inhibition and thermal stability. These oil-based fluids also deliver exceptional enhanced lubricity and robust wellbore integrity, ensuring consistent performance in HPHT, extended-reach, and deepwater applications.

Our oil-based drilling fluid systems reduce operational risk, optimize cuttings transport, and drive cost efficiency. Whether drilling through reactive shales or navigating narrow pressure windows, Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ nonaqueous fluid systems will keep your wellbore stable and your operations moving forward safely and efficiently. 

Comprehensive Solutions for Complex Drilling Challenges

Ä¢¹½´«Ã½'s suite of nonaqueous drilling fluid systems is engineered to tackle a wide range of drilling challenges, ensuring optimal performance, environmental compliance, and operational efficiency.

High-Temperature Stability

Designed for ultra-high-temperature wells, the RHADIANT™ oil-based ultrahigh-temperature drilling fluid system maintains thermal stability and minimizes fluid degradation, ensuring consistent performance in extreme conditions. Our VERSADRIL™ diesel oil-based drilling fluid system exhibits stability in high-temperature environments, reducing torque and drag while promoting wellbore stability. 

Sustainability and Compliance

  • PARALAND™ high-performance invert-emulsion drilling fluid incorporates biodegradable components with low toxicity.
  • VERSACLEAN™ mineral oil-based drilling fluid system uses low-toxicity mineral oil, suitable for sensitive environments. 

Proven Results 

  • RheGuard™ flat rheology drilling fluid system improved ECD management and reduced formation losses in challenging wells. 
  • WARP™ advanced fluids technology achieved 10% higher flow rates and 24% increased solids-control efficiencies in extended-reach drilling.
  • MEGADRIL™ oil-based temperature-stable invert emulsior enabled drilling of the longest extended-reach well in North America, saving 90 days of drilling time.
