Out-thinking your deepwater play

Having delivered more than 350 deepwater wells around the world – our team of experts have all the knowledge and fluids expertise to keep your operation one step ahead of the complex requirements of deepwater and offshore well development.

We anticipate the challenges you might face to keep your deepwater operation productive, all the way from drilling to completion. Our portfolio of specialist technologies have been designed to perform in the unique conditions of deepwater wells – while our highly trained fluids specialists are backed by global technical support resources to respond with agility to even the most complex of issues. Giving them all of the tools they need to engineer the optimal solution for your specific well.

We have invested in state-of-the-art deepwater fluids facilities to meet our customers drilling and completion fluids needs.

High performance. Low environmental impact.

Offshore fluids need to meet some of the most stringent environmental requirements in the world. Without compromising performance. In this, Newpark non-aqueous drilling fluids system and additives are second-to-none.

Success starts with the right strategy. We go to great lengths to fully understand your formation, reservoir and well plan. By using our ClearTrack software, we can model well hydraulics in multiple scenarios to develop the optimal drilling fluid solution and understand how it will perform.

Our deepwater fluids systems are rigorously tested in our product assurance laboratory to provide a flat rheology in low temperature sections near the seafloor and high temperature sections near the bit. Keeping you on-plan with no unscheduled events.
