Products and Fluid Systems
Newpark Drilling Fluids has introduced an effective group of proprietary products and fluid systems incorporating novel new components designed to advance the science of drilling demanding wells under harsh conditions.
Central to this development is Newpark's commitment to the environment which led to breakthroughs such as DeepDrill™ water-based drilling fluids (as an alternative to oil-based mud systems). In addition to being more environmentally-friendly, water-based drilling fluids are safer and easier to use, and the cuttings can be easily disposed of, unlike oil-based systems.
Technology
Newpark Drilling Fluids's research and development efforts are focused on solving real-world problems for our customers. We tailor the solution to the challenges presented and work side by side with our customers to insure our products and services meet their needs. We would be pleased to share the details of our many success stories from basins and formations all over the world.
Laboratory Capabilities
Newpark Drilling Fluids provides highly specialized analysis of field drilling fluid samples on a round-the-clock basis, providing timely information and recommendations. Our technical staff and their capabilities are second to none, as evidenced by our unique approach to hydraulics modeling, a program that may be tailored to individual wells and the available equipment. The development of proprietary software for record keeping and performance of engineering calculations continues and is available to our clients.
Performance Services
Newpark Drilling Fluids offers “single source supply” for those operators interested in integrated project management or bundled services. Through our Performance Services business, we lower well costs by reducing administration and limiting waste from build to closure. Performance Services will reduce costs and help meet your objectives.
