Having a passion in geo-mechanics, well bore stability and sanding/rock failure has allowed me to work with DRILCHEM to provide products and support to reduce NPT (non productive time), reduce casing strings and solutions for differential pressured zones with hydrocarbon charged zones and depleted zones. SPE paper 178786-MS describes the technical background that proves the application of DRILCHEM products in difficult environments.By understanding well bore issues and building geo-mechanical models to formulate special LCM pills and well bore strengthening material from straight forward conventional wells to problematic wells. With over 1000 wells all around the world that have successfully been treated with DRILCHEM products world wide. Backed by work performed in ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 18001 laboratories, DRILCHEM can optimise down hole solutions prior to application.In challenging times DRILCHEM bridges the gap between profit and loss. DRILCHEM has products that solves both commonly known problematic issues seen in a well, these being bore hole break out and tensile fracturing (drilling induced to natural fractures to full fracturing).
