SILDRIL

SILDRIL – The adaptable silicate fluid system with the proven inhibition of an invert-emulsion mud



Imagine this
. You’re drilling offshore through highly reactive formations that normally require the use of an oil-base mud. However, local environmental restrictions prohibit discharges, making a water-base system the more acceptable and cost-effective drilling fluid option. Until now, balancing the two requirements would have been an extremely formidable, if not impossible, task.

Now you have the SILDRIL™ system, M-I SWACO’s uniquely formulated system that capitalizes on the very latest in silicate technology to give you performance approaching that of an oil mud, but with the environmental acceptability of a water-base fluid. This one system delivers optimum inhibition characteristics, high penetration rates, decreased trouble time, superior wellbore integrity and superb solids-removal performance — all with minimal environmental impact.

No wonder more and more operators are putting their confidence in the SILDRIL system for the most demanding drilling applications.
