ACCOLADE® Fluid Technology

Earned the prestigious Hart’s Meritorious Engineering Innovation Award in well construction

ACCOLADE® system components were developed to work in a Gulf of Mexico (GOM) environmentally compliant base fluid—an ester and isomerized olefin (IO) blend— that would not only meet, but exceed the criteria established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Highly reliable environmental compliance, coupled with the outstanding drilling performance, earned the ACCOLADE system the prestigious Hart’s Meritorious Engineering Innovation Award in well construction, primarily for the significant reduction of overall drilling costs it provided the operators.
