Water-Based Drilling Fluid Systems
High-Performing Systems with Minimal HSE Impact
M-I SWACO has developed a comprehensive range of water-based drilling fluids that deliver cost-effective performance characteristics with minimal environmental impact. We were a pioneer in engineering a high-performance aqueous fluid that approaches the inhibitive characteristics of an oil-based drilling fluid. Our water-based drilling fluid systems are specially formulated for applications in environmentally sensitive areas often characterized by highly reactive shales.
Our advanced suite of water-based drilling fluids is effective in myriad applications, including
- Lost circulation zones
- Unconsolidated formations
- Casing-milling operations
- Coiled tubing
- High-angle and horizontal wells
- Environmentally sensitive drilling areas
