Since patenting the first application of carboxy methyl cellulose for drilling fluids in 1946, Drilling Specialties Company has been providing high-performance chemicals for the drilling fluids industry. We have years of quality performance and technology backing every product as the industry pushes the threshold of performance. And we will continue to innovate and provide superior quality products for water-based muds, oil-based muds and synthetic fluids.
Water-Based Mud Additives
Driscal® D Polymer
Proprietary, synthetic copolymers to control HTHP water loss in fresh, salty, or hard brine fluids. It remains stable at very high temperatures, inhibiting shale and stabilizing fluid rheology. Available dry or as liquid emulsion.
Drispac® Plus Polymer
Drispac® Plus polymers disperse rapidly, making them the highest-performing, most economical PAC products in the industry.
Drispac® Polymer
Multifunctional polyanionic cellulose polymer providing inhibition, rheology and fluid-loss control in freshwater- or saltwater-based muds and workover/completion fluids.
Dristemp® Polymer
A synthetic copolymer for use in controlling HTHP fluid loss up to 375°F in fresh, salty, and formate-based fluids. Teams well with Driscal® D polymer for very high temperature performance (500°F+).
Liquid Drispac® Polymer
Multifunctional polyanionic cellulose polymer in a liquid form providing inhibition, rheology and fluid-loss control in freshwater- or saltwater-based muds and workover/completion fluids.
Lost Circulation Material
Diaseal M® Lost Circulation Material
A blend of solids that, when mixed with the base fluid, forms a high-fluid-loss, high-solids slurry for overcoming lost circulation. It works well in water-, synthetic- and oil-based muds as a non-cement squeeze for even severe mud losses.
Sure-Seal™ LPM
Sure-Seal™ LPM is a proprietary natural loss prevention material (LPM) for use in wellbore strengthening procedures.
Torque-Seal™ Additive
Torque-Seal™ LCM/LPM is a new loss prevention material (LPM) for use with casing drilling operations. Specially formulated, this product has a broad range of particles that cover a wide range of loss zone openings.
Well-Seal™ LCM
Well-Seal™ LCM is a cost-effective multipurpose LCM for use in drilling operations.
Lubricants
Tribex™ ERD Additive
Tribex™ ERD Additive is a multifunctional, multipurpose, solid-state lubricant that functions in both aqueous and non-aqueous formulations.
E-500B Lubricant
Drilling Specialties Company™ E-500B Lubricant is designed to impart exceptional lubricity to metal-on-rock and metal-on-metal surfaces resulting in reduced friction and drag for the demanding environment faced in vertical and horizontal wellbores.
Oil-Based/Synthetic-Based Mud Additives
Drill-Sure™ OBM Additive
Drill-Sure™ OBM Additive is a multipurpose oil mud conditioner that provides HTHP fluid loss control, reduced torque and drag, and borehole stabilization in oil-based drilling fluids including diesel, mineral and synthetic oils.
DrisTROL™ OBM Fluid Loss Additive
DrisTROL™ OBM Fluid Loss Additive is a low-cost polymeric fluid loss additive designed for reducing high temperature high pressure (HTHP) fluid loss in diesel, mineral and synthetic oil-based drilling fluids.
Drill-Well™ D294 Rheology Modifier
A proprietary product used for rheology control in oil-based drilling fluids including mineral, diesel and synthetic oils.
Rheology Control
CF Desco® II Deflocculant
CF Desco® II Deflocculant extends the utility of non-chrome-containing thinners with a higher level of rheology and shear strength control. It is more cost-effective than either ferrochrome or chrome-free lignosulfonate.
Chrome Free Desco® Deflocculant
Readily soluble, versatile, cost-efficient mud conditioner used to control viscosity, gel strength, and high-temperature shear strength in freshwater or saltwater muds. Chrome Free Desco® Deflocculant contains no heavy metals.
Desco® Deflocculant
Readily soluble, versatile, cost-efficient mud conditioner used to control viscosity, gel strength, and high-temperature shear strength in freshwater or saltwater muds.
Shale Stabilizers
Soltex® Additive
Protect shale formations, impart superior lubricity, and provide HTHP fluid-loss control with controlled solubility in water, synthetic and oil-based drilling fluids.
Soltex® E Additive
Protect shale formations, impart superior lubricity, and provide HTHP fluid-loss control with controlled solubility in water, synthetic and oil-based drilling fluids.
StabilSAS™
Commodity competitive sulfonated asphalt to stabilize shale formations, reduce HTHP fluid loss and coefficient of friction that is compatible with water, synthetic and oil-based drilling fluids.
Direct Emulsion Fluid System
DirectDrill™ Emulsifier
DirectDrill™ is a dry direct emulsifier generated through a unique sulfonation reaction. This sulfonation chemistry provides a high range of hydrophilic and lipophilic balance needed to generate a fundamental direct emulsion between water and oil.
DirectDrill™ Extender
DirectDrill™ Extender provides emulsion stability in direct emulsion muds during both static and dynamic conditions, and, is useful across a wide range of base oil ratios.
