Innovating Beyond Commodity Chemistry In the drilling operations, drilling fluids serve several critical functions: preventing formation fluids from entering the wellbore, cooling and cleaning the drill bits, carrying cuttings to the surface, suspending cuttings, and preventing fluid loss. Innospec Oilfield Services (OFS) provides the products, application expertise, and deep understanding of oil and gas production […]
In unconventional shales, unstable formations consist of the sedimentary rock made from clay and other minerals. During the drilling phase, sloughing shales can cause caving of the formation or, in some instances, the equipment to get stuck. ClayBrake™ Series Innospec Oilfield Services offers a series of proprietary cationic clay shale stabilizers designed to prevent swelling […]
Corrosion affects almost every part of a well’s lifecycle. In the drilling phase, well casing can corrode due to oxygen within the drilling mud. Innospec Oilfield Services offers a variety of water-soluble and oil-soluble corrosion inhibitors that are specially designed for use in water and oil-based drilling muds and air mist/stable foam operations. Drill-COR DC-305 […]
Controlling foam in drilling operations can be critical to the successful performance of water-based mud systems. Innospec Oilfield Services offers a defoaming agent for this specific challenge. STRATA FOAM-BLAST® This is a premium grade liquid de-foaming agent for all water base drilling, work over and completion fluids. This product is excellent for preventing aeration and […]
Liquid emulsifiers are widely used in all types of drilling fluid systems. They provide a host of benefits including emulsification of two immiscible fluids, wetting of solids for improved compatibility with drilling fluids and fluid loss control. Tensul™ Innospec’s Tensul Liquid Emulsifiers are designed to work as a system to provide maximum emulsification stability of […]
Wellbore instability caused by depleted zones or weak formations in maturing fields has led to considerable expenses due to lost circulation. Mitigating these expenses should not be complex; it only requires a change in approach from reactive to preventative. Innospec Oilfield Services is an industry leader in lost circulation solutions — offering a wide range […]
Liquid friction reducers are designed to help protect drilling equipment against damage caused by torque, drag and the high pressures encountered in complex reservoirs. In extreme operating conditions—high temperatures, shock loads, high solids, contaminants — superior, reliable lubrication is required in order to prevent costly equipment-related downtime. But not all lubricants perform equally. STRATA-LUBE® For […]
