COBBLE COMMANDER

A FAST WAY TO CONQUER THE SITE

This one of a kind HDD utility drilling fluid has yet to meet a job it can’t handle. Cobble Commander increases the drilling fluid’s ability to carry out cuttings without drastically affecting the viscosity. This is indicated by high-yield point and low plastic viscosity readings. When not circulating, the mud instantly returns to a gelled state and immediately suspends drilled cuttings. At the end of the day, Cobble Commander will allow for more time-efficient drilling and the carrying out of more cuttings, proving the efficiency and quality of the formula.

• Increase rate of penetration
• Excellent cuttings transport and suspension
• Bore hole stabilization through “gel locking” in the formation
• To be used with bentonite
• A must for any dual-rod machine
• Compatible with PACs, TROLs, lubricants, detergents, PHPA, etc.
• Recommended for rock, sand, gravel, and cobble formations

DRILLING FLUID SYSTEMS

M-I SWACO

GEL/BENTONITE drilling fluid systems improve your drilling performance, the technology maximizes production, and environmental solutions to safely manage waste volumes. Specialized additives complement the efficiencies of our advanced drilling fluid systems by targeting performance-hindering downhole conditions, eliminating or minimizing the problems that drive up costs and threaten drilling programs. For example, we were the first to introduce cost-effective, high-efficiency micronized barite technology to water- and oil-based drilling fluids.

Innovative drilling fluid engineers are at the company’s core, helping oil and gas operators increase efficiency and lower costs. We do this by developing drilling fluid systems and additives that accommodate a wide range of drilling environments and demanding applications—including:

• HPHT
• Deep Water
• Ultra Deep Water
• Shale Gas
• Heavy Oil
• Depleted Wells
• and more…

Mincon Envirosafe Hole Control

Mincon Envirosafe Foamer ES an environmentally acceptable foaming agent to be used in mineral exploration, oil and gas exploration and water well drilling operations. It has also been used as a drilling aid for monitoring wells.

Mincon Envirosafe Foamer ES has an excellent half-life comparable to the leading foams on the market. It develops immediate tight foam (compact bubbles) with good lifting characteristics.
