WARP Fluids Technology

Micronized barite system sets new standard for cost-effective drilling fluids

WARP Fluids Technology represents a milestone in water and oil-based drilling fluids. WARP is the first to employ micronized weighting material to address a number of drilling concerns, including barite sag. When evaluated against conventionally weighted fluids, both water-base and invert systems formulated with WARP Fluids Technology deliver more added-value benefits.

• Reduced sag tendencies make fluids using WARP Fluids Technology ideal for horizontal and extended-reach wells.
• WARP Fluids Technology provides lower plastic viscosities over conventionally weighted fluids with the same yield point.
• Improved filtration properties result from the ultra-fine particle sizes contributed by WARP Fluids Technology to enhance filtration control and minimizing the risk of differential sticking.
• Improved solids-separation efficiency results in less dilution, optimum product performance and reduced costs.
• Improved pressure drops in narrow annuli make WARP Fluid Technology the ultimate alternative to brine-weighted fluids.
• Systems using WARP Fluids Technology have demonstrated improved QHSE characteristics compared to conventionally weighted brine systems.
• WARP Fluids Technology has improved torque in open and cased holes by as much as 25% compared to offset wells drilled with conventional weighting agents.
