Oil & Gas
Advanced polymer solutions for drilling fluid performance in demanding operations.
Overview
Oil & Gas
PERFO-CELL provides high-performance drilling fluid additives for oil & gas drilling, water well drilling, HDD and mineral exploration applications. The portfolio includes CMC (Carboxymethyl Cellulose), PAC (Polyanionic Cellulose) and Modified Starch technologies designed to support fluid loss control, rheology stabilization, shale inhibition and borehole stability in demanding drilling environments. PERFO-CELL drilling polymers are developed for modern water-based drilling fluid systems requiring stable rheology, effective filtration control and reliable wellbore protection, and are suitable for fresh water, sea water and salt-saturated mud systems.
Field challenges
- Fluid loss and unstable filtration control
- Rheology instability in water-based muds
- Shale inhibition and borehole instability
- Performance across fresh water, sea water and salt-saturated systems
Our solutions
- PERFO-CELL CMC grades for rheology and filtration control
- PERFO-CELL PAC for advanced filtration and salt tolerance
- PERFO-CELL Modified Starch for sustainable fluid-loss control
- Support for oil & gas, water well, HDD and mineral exploration fluids
