Chemistry That Works

Drilling & Cementing

Drilling mud composition directly contributes to the condition and life of an oil or gas well. Our additives for oil and water-based muds are designed to complement and enhance the performance of our customers’ mud systems, enabling minimum non-production time and improved well performance. Our product portfolio contains chemistries designed for a wide range of reservoir and operating conditions.

Stimulation

Hydraulic fracturing is a water-intensive process that relies on chemical additives to ensure efficiency and effectiveness. Our high-performing polymer solutions provide economic, environmental and operational benefits. With strategically located manufacturing, combined with rail transloading, in-basin storage and last mile delivery in all major basins in North America, we are able to get our products to our customers efficiently and cost-effectively.

Chemical EOR & IOR
