Drilling
Drilling muds are required to effectively perform the essential tasks for a successful drilling operation. This begins with the need to carry rock cuttings to the surface and out of the well. Additional mud functions include
controlling formation pressure
suspending cuttings
maintaining wellbore stability
cooling and lubricating the drill bit
minimizing formation damage
minimizing environmental impact
Oil entrainment in drilling mud can cause poor chemical performance and hinder recycle operations. Protreat offers additives to help separate oil and break out lubricants, so that recycle operations are successful.
Completions
Well completion operations include well stimulations and subsequent plug drillouts/cleanouts to prepare the well for production.
Production
The production of hydrocarbons needs to be achieved safely, economically, and in compliance with regulatory agencies. While great improvements have been made in understanding produced fluid characteristics, the solutions to daily production problems remains complex. Thorough lab work prior to chemical application and monitoring after chemical application is essential to the success of your chemical program. Protreat provides an extensive range of chemicals to address production problems. Safety Data Sheets can be found here.
