Enhancing Drilling Efficiency
Schlumberger's DrillPlan offers a comprehensive range of drilling fluid additives that cater to oil-, synthetic-, and water-based drilling operations. These additives are custom-formulated to help operators enhance drilling efficiency, reduce costs, and address Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) concerns effectively. The advanced fluid systems and additives provided by Schlumberger have been designed to meet the operational goals of operators, regardless of the project's complexity, location, or size.
Diverse Portfolio of Additives
The portfolio of DrillPlan additives includes viscosifiers, fluid loss control agents, lost circulation materials, lubricants, and more. Alkalinity Control additives are available to adjust the pH of water-based fluids, while Corrosion Inhibitors mitigate corrosion and neutralize hazardous acid gas. Defoamers reduce foam and air entrainment in water-based fluids, and Emulsifiers and Wetting Agents create stable emulsions between insoluble liquids. Lost Circulation Materials control downhole losses, and Lubricants minimize friction in all fluids.
Tailored Solutions for Operational Challenges
Schlumberger's DrillPlan fluid additives address a wide range of challenges faced during drilling operations. From Filtration Reducers that minimize fluid filtration to Shale Inhibitors that control reactive shales, the additives are tailored to enhance operational performance. The portfolio also includes Surfactants for improving the rate of penetration and Temperature Stabilizers for enhancing polymer performance. Thinners and Dispersants manage the impact of drilled solids, while Weighting Agents adjust fluid density as needed.
Innovative Wellbore Strengthening Materials
One of the key offerings of DrillPlan additives is the Wellbore Strengthening Materials, designed to enhance formation strength. These materials play a vital role in stabilizing wellbores, improving overall well integrity, and reducing potential drilling risks. By incorporating these advanced materials into drilling fluid systems, operators can achieve optimal wellbore conditions, leading to increased operational efficiency and reduced downtime.
