Out-Thinking Your Deepwater Play
With experience delivering more than 400 deepwater wells worldwide, our team brings the technical knowledge and fluids expertise required to stay ahead of the demanding conditions associated with deepwater well development.
We provide targeted solutions to address the full range of drilling and completion challenges you may encounter. Our portfolio of specialist technologies is engineered specifically for deepwater environments, and our highly trained fluids specialists are supported by global technical resources that enable rapid, informed responses to even the most complex issues.
This ensures they have the tools and expertise needed to design the optimal solution for your well.
High performance. Low environmental impact.
Deepwater offshore drilling fluids must meet some of the most stringent environmental standards globally, while still delivering uncompromised drilling performance. Newpark’s non-aqueous and water-based drilling fluid systems—and their associated additives—are engineered to excel under these demanding conditions.
Success begins with detailed planning to establish the right fluid strategy. Using our ClearTrack™ software, we model well hydraulics across multiple scenarios to inform the design of the optimal drilling fluid solution and accurately predict how it will perform throughout the operation.
Designing for Success
Our deepwater fluid systems are rigorously modeled and tested in our technology centers to address the challenges encountered in deepwater before deployment in the field.
