Empowering Teams Through Fluid Engineering Education
Every fluids solution is unique. As no two wells are the same, our specialists design customized options with the customer and application in mind. They test every option so you can have complete confidence in the final performance—while also providing technical support to our onsite personnel to assure fast and efficient service delivery at the wellsite.
Newpark Technology Center
Our global technology hub is located in Houston, TX. The center is home to our world-class fluids laboratory facilities, featuring equipment capable of recreating real-world operating conditions that exist in the field under which we evaluate our chemistry. This further strengthens our position as a global leader of innovative fluids technology and solutions.
Key capabilities:
- Drilling fluids testing
- Reservoir fluids evaluation
- Product research and development
- Analytical services
- Product QA/QC
- Fluids training
Field Services Lab
Bring us your fluids challenges and we’ll find you the optimum solutions. We take sample fluids from the field into the lab for stringent testing to identify the right solutions. Our scientists and technical teams then formulate fluids systems optimized to your specific applications.
Product Development Lab
Our R&D team develops fluid products and systems as diverse as the wells they serve. We continuously explore novel chemistries and product adaptations to optimize fluid performance and address the unique challenges of your field.
- Chemistries developed using decades of field experience
- Chemistries developed through understanding Rock-Fluid Interactions
- Reservoir fluids that minimize damage while performing their designed function
Reservoir Services Lab
A new feature at the Newpark Technology Center, our Reservoir Services Lab accurately measures permeability changes of formation core samples in HPHT, shining a spotlight on drill-in fluid development and optimization.
Analytical Lab
Our fluids scientists identify and quantify foreign components of field samples, mineral composition of shales, and chemistry of products. The Analytical Lab is the central nervous system of the Newpark Technology Center, supporting quality assurance, field service, and product development with state-of-the-art tools.
