INTEGRATED FLUIDS ENGINEERING* (IFE*) reduces the expenditures and risks of drilling problematic wells

Today’s wells are more demanding than ever before. High day rates and shrinking budgets are demanding that operators reach TD quickly and that producing formations yield the most oil and gas possible. The use of expensive, sophisticated equipment demands that logistics and operations be carried out seamlessly, with no gaps or overlaps.

Our integrated service offering, INTEGRATED FLUIDS ENGINEERING* (IFE*) is comprised of products and services we’ve already listed within DRILLING SOLUTIONS, WELLBORE PRODUCTIVITY and ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS* groupings. The difference is that when we provide these solutions as part of an integrated offering, there is a high degree of coordination, key performance indicators, specially trained personnel and results-tracking among the services and possibly even reward-for-performance targets built into the contract.

In addition, increasingly stringent regulations are putting a bigger burden on operators to improve health and safety conditions, and either reduce the amount of drilling waste or bear the costs of dealing with it. The bottom line of today’s drilling scenario is this — get the most productivity from every person, service, instrument, tool and product used in drilling and completing your wells.

INTEGRATED FLUIDS ENGINEERING* (IFE*) was created for these challenges

INTEGRATED FLUIDS ENGINEERING* (IFE*), is a single-source service from M-I SWACO that will deliver the highest performance from your well at the lowest total project cost. We accomplish this by helping you achieve four main goals: fewer days to TD, maximum production sooner, optimum environmental compliance and the lowest total project cost.
