General Description Drilling Gilsonite Fluid Loss Control (FLC) is an effective solution for minimizing fluid loss and enhancing wellbore stability during challenging drilling operations. Gilsonite is used in drilling fluid loss control (FLC) and oil well cementing. Gilsonite, in a range of softening points and particle sizes, is a standard ingredient in oil-based drilling muds […]

Description Gilsonite is a key player in drilling fluid loss control (FLC) and oil well cementing. It’s used in oil-based drilling muds, especially when working with challenging geological formations like shale. By adding Gilsonite to water-based drilling fluids, it helps stabilize the shale, seal off permeable sands, and reduce hole washout. This also leads to […]

  Gilsonite Deep Water Drilling Gilsonite in Deep Water Drilling has been proven safe and effective in more than 60 years of oilfield performance. Gilsonite is a safe, naturally occurring hydrocarbon resin with unique chemical properties. Added to drilling fluids, it increases performance and reduces cost in deepwater drilling while minimizing risk. Gilsonite Prevents Differential […]

Gilsonite Performs in (WBM) a cost-effective, high-performance drilling fluid additive, effective in a wide range of water-based systems for both low and high-temperature wells. Gilsonite is a free-flowing powder that mixes easily through the hopper and disperses with only mild agitation. It is tolerant of contaminants and eliminates the need for additional surfactants or coupling agents. […]
