Delivering fluid performance, stability and compatibility

Drilling and completion operations rely on fluids that deliver predictable performance across different formations, temperatures, and well designs. Chemistry selection and formulation directly affect rate of penetration, wellbore stability, equivalent circulating density, and the quality of the wellbore handed over to completion and production.

We support drilling fluid and completion system formulators with reliable, fit‑for‑purpose chemistries that help maintain fluid performance and wellbore stability, while integrating smoothly into existing formulations and operational practices.

How we enable drilling and completion operations

Our portfolio for drilling and completion applications focuses on functionality, stability, and robustness across a range of fluid systems. To translate these strengths into field performance, our portfolio is built around several key functions that drive reliability and efficiency.

•  Support hole cleaning, cuttings suspension, and equivalent
    circulating density management through reliable
    rheology control
•  Maintain wellbore stability in reactive shale formations
•  Support displacement, cleanup, and wellbore conditioning
    for a smooth transition into completion and production
•  Deliver consistent fluid performance across varying water
    qualities and brine compositions
•  Minimize operational risk by coordinating chemistries
    across fluid systems, wellbore stability, and completion
    transition

Key functions

Water-based mud additives
Cellulosic viscosifiers, dispersants, and rheology modifiers that stabilize water-based drilling fluids under high salinity and temperature.

Oil-based mud additives
Emulsifiers, wetting agents, and rheology modifiers that build thermally stable oil-based mud systems for demanding wells.

Cementing and completion additives
Viscosifiers, spacers, and dispersants that optimize cement and completion fluid performance, improving zonal isolation and well integrity.

Cleaning agents
Surfactant and solvent blends that remove oil, residues, and contaminants from equipment and wellbores, supporting faster transitions between well phases.

Built for drilling and completion practicality

Across drilling and completion applications, our chemistries are developed with operational practicality and system compatibility in mind:

  • Emphasis on stable performance across a relevant temperature and salinity range
  • Focus on compatibility with other drilling and completion additives, as well as formation and completion materials
  • Alignment with regional and regulatory requirements where applicable, including OSPAR, REACH, and TSCA

This supports more predictable drilling and completion performance and helps provide a better foundation for subsequent stimulation and production operations.
