Oilfield case-study

Improving deepwater drilling efficiency and cost with a single RDIF

Discover how switching to a single reservoir drill-in fluid (RDIF) is transforming deepwater drilling efficiency in Guyana, cutting overall project costs and execution time by 20% compared to the industry average.

MICRODENSE GUYANA ECD Case studies

Eliminating sag and losses in Guyana deepwater wells

Discover how redesigning reservoir drill-in fluids with MICRODENSE® weighted systems resolved barite sag and formation losses in Guyana's deepwater wells—achieving an average 0.7 ppg ECD reduction to accelerate tripping times and maximize well productivity.

Microdense Middle east ERD Case study

Doubling production from extended-reach wells in the Middle East

Discover how innovative drilling fluid technology enabled extended-reach laterals beyond 23,000 ft in the Middle East—overcoming severe ECD losses and high torque to achieve 2x production rates compared to offset wells.

Case studies Simplifying offshore logistics with bulk conveyance

Simplifying offshore logistics with bulk conveyance

Discover how bulk pneumatic conveyance eliminates time-consuming big-bag handling for micronised weighting agents—streamlining offshore logistics, reducing dust hazards, and achieving a 52 m vertical transfer at just 2 bar of pressure.

Case study Doubling penetration rates in hard rock drilling

Doubling penetration rates in hard rock drilling

Discover how optimized drilling fluid formulations overcome the slowness of hard rock drilling, delivering a 100% increase in rate of penetration compared to conventional barite-weighted fluids.

Case study Drilling seven ultra-HPHT wells with a single fluid system

Drilling seven ultra-HPHT wells with a single fluid system

Discover how a single high-temperature fluid system maintained ultra-stable rheology under extreme conditions above 400 °F (204 °C) in the North Sea—achieving 0 NPT related to drilling fluids across seven ultra-HPHT wells.

Case study Completing two reservoirs with one non-damaging fluid

Completing two reservoirs with one non-damaging fluid

Discover how a single non-damaging fluid enabled the completion of two separate reservoirs in the North Sea—maintaining wellbore stability and zero corrosion while achieving 100%+ return permeability with no formation damage.

Case study Tripling production by replacing oil-based drilling fluids

Tripling production by replacing oil-based drilling fluids

Discover how replacing oil-based drilling fluids with a custom non-damaging water-based system in deep HPHT gas wells in the Middle East eliminated formation damage—delivering 3x higher production rates compared to offset wells.

Case study: Drilling five ‘undrillable’ TTRD wells in the North Sea

Drilling five ‘undrillable’ TTRD wells in the North Sea

Discover how a fluid system weighted with finer materials enabled the successful drilling of five 'undrillable' TTRD wells in the North Sea—reducing equivalent circulating density (ECD) by 50% compared to API barite and remaining well below the fracture gradient.

Case study Drilling an ultra-HPHT well three days ahead of plan

Drilling an ultra-HPHT well three days ahead of plan

Discover how a thermally stable fluid system enabled the drilling of an ultra-HPHT exploration well in Southeast Asia at 455 °F (235 °C)—reducing drilling time to total depth by 3 days ahead of plan.
