Drilling Specialties has introduced the NanoSlide™ drilling fluids lubricant, designed to tackle some of the toughest challenges in modern drilling operations. Whether pushing through hard formations or managing extreme downhole conditions, NanoSlide™ drilling fluid lubricant keeps operations running smoother, longer.
“NanoSlide™ lubricant represents a major leap forward in drilling fluid technology,” said Nick Palmer, business manager at Drilling Specialties. “This product reflects our commitment to innovation, collaboration and solving real-world challenges for our customers.”
What makes NanoSlide™ drilling fluid lubricant different? It’s all about the formula. This lubricant blends several powerful components—micronized graphene, a proprietary chemical additive, and CPChem’s Synfluid® PAO. Together, they create a protective layer, a tribofilm, that shields drill pipe surfaces from wear and tear, even under intense pressure and heat.
The product was fine-tuned using advanced laboratory testing, where engineers measured friction levels to find the ideal mix. The result is a lubricant that consistently performs better than current industry standards.
NanoSlide™ drilling fluid isn’t just about laboratory results, the proof is shown in real-world conditions. In a recent trial, the team saw success in the Bakken Formation, a major underground oil and gas deposit located beneath North Dakota and Montana, with significant reduction in pipe wear and drill time.
With NanoSlide™ drilling fluid lubricant, operators get a cost-effective solution that boosts efficiency, protects equipment and sets a new benchmark for what drilling lubricants can do.
