Our high-performance, water-based, onshore drilling fluid overcomes many of the technical challenges that could otherwise restrict your options to oil-based mud (OBM). We engineer water-based muds that reduce overall cost and environmental impact.
Whether you’re considering the environment, the reservoir, or reducing mud losses and improving cement jobs, our proprietary water-based mud (WBM) systems maximize clay inhibition, minimize pore-pressure transmission and, ultimately, achieve rate of penetration (ROP) that makes other mud systems look very conventional.
PERFORMAX
The PERFORMAX™ system is ideal when you need the highest drilling performance available in WBM. This is the alternative to synthetic-based muds in areas, such as deepwater, where extreme performance, along with environmental concerns and electronic image quality are top priorities.
PER-FLEX
We can customize PER-FLEX™ WBM to focus on only the most critical fluid attributes, such as shale stability or controlling highly reactive clays. This mud system can be created from a variety of high-performance products, all compatible with high-salinity fluids.
PYRO-DRILL
When conventional WBM components have already burned up from extreme downhole temperatures, PYRO-DRILL™ WBM is just getting warmed up. We can customize this mud with stable fluid properties under the temperature demands of virtually any application.
MAX-BRIDGE
An increasing number of fields contain hydrocarbons that are protected by extremely depleted zones. The MAX-BRIDGE™ system can be applied in WBM with unique technology that allows access to those reserves without the pipe sticking and mud losses associated with conventional systems.
