Fluid Systems
Overview
Fluid Systems
WBM, OBM, and SBM engineered for formation KPIs and operational envelopes.
Systems
Water-Based: freshwater, seawater, KCl-polymer, silicate
Oil-Based: invert emulsion, mineral, diesel base
Synthetic-Based: ester, IO, LAO
Engineering
Hydraulics modeling, torque/drag, rheology optimization
HPHT lab testing and compatibility
Results
28–35% ROP increase .
35–40% torque reduction in ERD
Drilling Fluid Systems
Best for: Shallow/intermediate wells, non-reactive formations
Advantages: Low cost, eco-friendly, easy disposal
Formulations: Freshwater, seawater, KCl-polymer, silicate systems
Best for: Deepwater, reactive shale, HPHT, extended-reach wells
Advantages: Superior shale inhibition, lubricity, temperature stability
Formulations: Diesel-based, mineral oil, invert emulsions
Best for: Offshore and environmentally sensitive areas
Advantages: OBM-level performance with better biodegradability
Formulations: Ester, internal olefin, linear alpha olefin systems
