Non-Aqueous Drilling Fluid Systems
Kronos - Deepwater Drilling Fluid Systems
The Kronos™ drilling fluid is Newpark’s synthetic-based invert emulsion system designed primarily to comply with the environmental requirements for non-aqueous fluids for use in deepwater. The system design and components accommodate versatility of formulation in virtually any deepwater drilling application.
Water-based Systems
EvoCon - Fluid Conditioner
EvoCon® fluid conditioner is a water-based fluid stabilizer used as a primary component of the Evolution® fluid system, Newpark’s proprietary high-performance water-based drilling fluid technology. The polymer-based, clay-free Evolution fluid system is designed specifically for drilling unconventional horizontal wells.
EvoLube G - Drilling Performance Enhancer
EvoLube® G drilling performance enhancer is an extremely effective lubricant blend. EvoLube G is a central component of Newpark Drilling Fluids’ Evolution® high-performance water-based drilling fluid system. Engineered using Six Sigma techniques, EvoLube G optimizes potential performance improvements over previous EvoLube generations.
EvoLube TR - Torque Reducer Lubricant
EvoLube® Torque Reducer (TR) lubricant decreases torque and drag while increasing the lubricity in water-based fluids, including brine-based systems.
EvoMod - Low-End Rheology Modifier
EvoMod® low-end rheology modifier viscosifies waterbased drilling fluids when down-hole temperatures exceed 275°F (135°C).
EvoTrol - Filtration Control Agent
EvoTrol™ filtration control agent reduces fluid loss in waterbased drilling fluids. It provides gel strength for improved hole cleaning.
EvoVis - Viscosifiers
EvoVis® viscosifier is a proprietary anionic polymer that primarily provides viscosity and serves as an inhibitive coating agent for drilled cuttings in water-based drilling fluids. It also provides filtration control as a secondary function.
NewStabil - Fluid Stabilizer
NewStabil™ fluid stabilizer controls alkalinity in brine systems and extends the temperature stability of drilling fluid systems containing polymers derived from natural sources.
OptiDrill - Dependable Solution
OptiMul HP - Emulsifier
OptiMul™ HP is a high-performance emulsifier designed to increase stability in non-aqueous drilling fluids. OptiMul HP reduces fluid loss and is the only emulsifier needed in the fluids formulation.
OptiMul II - Emulsifier
OptiMul™ II emulsifier is a liquid blend of organic fatty acids which provides a stable water-in-oil emulsion. It is designed for use as the primary emulsifier for Newpark’s OptiDrill™ or OptiPhase™ diesel- or mineral oil-based drilling fluid.
