SNF supports our customers in delivering optimized drilling and completion programs with maximum efficiency to enable production-ready wellbores. We meet our customers’ challenges with a strong commitment to innovation, performance, and the environment. Economic drilling of oil wells requires specific properties for drilling fluids supported by world-class supply chain and logistics. Many demands are placed on these fluids to achieve multiple objectives, such as:
SNF produces a range of specifically engineered polymers for water-based drilling fluid systems in powder, liquid, and emulsion forms in various packaging to meet individual needs. Each series of polymers meets one or several requirements, such as fluid-loss control, viscosity improvement, high temperature/high-pressure (HTHP) applications, and shale inhibition. These polymers are produced in a variety of physical forms, molecular weights, and compositions for specific applications. SNF drilling fluid polymer additives include:
