We design drilling fluid programs to conquer the most challenging reservoirs and deliver results that surpass expectations.

SATURATED SALT muds are used to prevent excessive hole enlargement while drilling massive salt beds. They can also be used to reduce dispersion and hydration of shales and clays. High viscosity problems in SATURATED SALT muds are unusual; however, solids content (percent by volume) should be maintained within a desired range by mechanical removal or dilution with saturated salt water to prevent unacceptable increases in gel strengths and viscosity.
