M-I SWACO

Drilling Fluid Systems

Whether your next well is in a high-temperature, high-pressure environment, in the deepwater with the ever-present threat of gas hydrates, or in a depleted reservoir, we can customize a system to fit your application.

We provide the industry’s most comprehensive line of drilling fluid systems, all aimed at reducing your drilling costs, increasing production and minimizing HSE impact. And, while we are the industry leader in introducing new systems for the technological demands of tomorrow, we are constantly pushing our existing systems to higher levels of performance.

Name

Function/Application

	DRILPLEX	The DRILPLEX system delivers exceptional performance in a multitude of applications and does so in one, easily engineered, cost-effective and environmentally sound package.
	DURATHERM	The DURATHERM system is a low-colloid, contaminant-resistant water-base fluid designed for high-temperature drilling.
	ECOGREEN	ECOGREEN, our ester-base synthetic fluid system, is one more example of M-I's uncompromising pledge to balance superb downhole performance with environmental stewardship.
	ENVIROTHERM	The ENVIROTHERM system is a chrome-free, environmentally advanced fluid designed for high-temperature drilling.
	GLYDRIL	The GLYDRIL systems, a family of glycol-enhanced fluid systems, deliver performance beyond that of conventional polymer and other water-base fluids.
	K-MAG	The K-MAG system, used for drilling troublesome shales, provides good shale inhibition and wellbore stability as it minimizes clay migration, swelling and dispersion.
	KLA-SHIELD	Reach your drilling and environmental goals with the high-performance water-base system that’s as flexible as you need it to be
	MEGADRIL	The one-drum solution to elevated gel strengths in invert systems
	NOVAPLUS	The low-viscosity, internal-olefin-base NOVAPLUS synthetic drilling fluid is ideally suited for drilling in deepwater and environmentally sensitive areas.
	PARADRIL	The paraffin-base PARADRIL system provides good hole cleaning, superior return permeability, minimal formation damage and excellent wellbore stability that help maximize production and lower costs.
	PARALAND	The paraffin-base PARALAND drilling fluid system is designed to allow the optimized land-based disposal of drill cuttings.
	POLY-PLUS	The polymer-base, POLY-PLUS PHPA system is designed for improved cuttings encapsulation and shale stabilization.
	RHELIANT	The RHELIANT 'Flat' rheology system is designed to manage ECD without sacrificing hole cleaning ability or promoting barite sag.
	SILDRIL	The SILDRIL system capitalizes on the very latest in silicate technology to give performance approaching that of oil mud, but with the environmental acceptability of a water-base fluid.
	TRUDRIL	Its inherent lubricity, borehole stability, enhanced hole cleaning and low ECDs help make the TRUDRIL system an easily engineered system that is an ideal alternative to an invert-emulsion fluid.
	ULTRADRIL	With ULTRADRIL™, M-I SWACO has given the industry a field-proven, water-base drilling fluid that provides outstanding shale inhibition and drilling performance characteristics previously associated only with invert emulsion systems.
	VERSACLEAN	The VERSACLEAN mineral oil-base drilling fluids system is designed for use in areas where diesel oil is prohibited.
	VERSADRIL	The VERSADRIL diesel oil-base drilling fluids system, designed for wellbore stability is contaminant resistant and solids tolerant.
	WARP	The specially treated microparticles are your assurance of higher mud weights with lower rheologies for critical applications.
