Optimized Drill-in Solutions for Maximum Production
Wells completed with open‑hole methods require a heightened focus on drilling‑fluid design to protect the producing formation and avoid plugging the completion assembly. The Newpark family of Reservoir Drilling Fluids (RDF) is engineered and optimized for each specific application to maximize reservoir performance while minimizing the risk of production or injection impairment.
Fluid design and validation are conducted in our Technical Centers, where Newpark’s proprietary chemistry is applied to tailor fluid properties and enhance filter‑cake removal once the well is completed and ready for production.
ClearBridge™, Newpark’s bridging‑engineering software, uses formation data to design the optimal blend of bridging agents, ensuring the formation of a thin, ultra‑low‑permeability filter cake on the sandface to minimize fluid invasion.
Maximize reservoir productivity with efficient cleanup and filter cake removal using ORCA for WBM technology
ORCA uniform breaker technology is a highly effective, single treatment filter cake cleanup solution available in formulations for oil-based and water-based drill-in fluid filter cakes.
For CleanDrill RDF and CleanDrill HD RDF cleanup applications, ORCA for WBM employs an “in‑situ” organic acid generating package to dissolve acid soluble materials such as calcium carbonate present in the filter cake. This tailored and optimized acid generating package greatly improves acid placement in order to uniformly dissolve carbonate in the mud cake across the wellbore face. This uniform placement results in excellent zonal coverage across long open hole horizontal or directional sections.
