    Drilling fluids that are more than just water

    Operators are moving toward water-based fluids for their operations to comply with sustainability requirements. In anticipation, we have developed the most complete portfolio of aqueous fluid solutions that not only deliver sustainability with competitive performance in drilling and reservoir drill-in fluids (RDFs) but also advanced digital management and automation, along with sustainability tools that help quantify reduced emissions through the entire fluids management life cycle. So, you maintain your performance edge while lowering total cost of ownership and sustainability footprint with a wide variety of options based on specific targets outlined by you. These options help keep operations above water by lowering logistical costs, eliminating transport of base oil or cuttings, and minimizing the costs associated with lost circulation.
