Drilling fluids, thread compounds, demulsifiers, scale + corrosion inhibitors for HPHT wells, foaming agents for aerated drilling. 24+ formulations across four technology lines.
What this sector covers
24 formulations in catalogue plus custom-formulation support against specific plant conditions.
Viscosity, filtration, and carrying capacity of the drilling mud are the foundation of trouble-free drilling. Different muds need different thinners and filtration controllers depending on temperature and salinity.
FCLS + KSSB + polymer-humate reagent + sulphonated asphalt — four chemistry classes covering fresh, mineralized, and high-temperature mud systems.
Clay swelling and wellbore sloughing are classical causes of stuck pipe and emergency stops. The right inhibitor depends on clay type — montmorillonite, mixed, or fractured.
Four inhibitor classes: polymer-silicate (film stabilization), polyamine (interlayer hydration blocking), polymer-humate (water exchange regulation), and gilsonite microbridging for fractured intervals.
Drill-pipe lubrication reduces metal-rock friction by up to 40%; HPHT-grade lubricants hold to 150°C bottom-hole temperatures. Thread compounds need acid-resistant variants for H₂S/CO₂ wells.
Standard + HPHT drilling lubricants plus 5 thread-paste grades (NT-1, NT-2, NT-2 Copper Premium, NT-3 sealant, NT-3 grease) covering API RP 5A3 pressure classes to 68.9 MPa.
Asphaltene-paraffin deposits, scale formation, and sulphate-reducing bacteria block production tubing and corrode downhole equipment.
Asphaltene-paraffin solvents, scale inhibitors (HPHT-rated), and biocide formulations stable to 120°C — all batched against well-specific water chemistry.
