Design, conserve, protect the wellbore
Download PDFDrilling operators need high-performance water-based fluids to maximize their wellbore value. High performance means a system that rivals the results of oil-based fluids — without the environmental and economical limitations.
Halliburton Baroid has engineered an expansive portfolio of high-performance water-based fluids and additives that can be customized to meet your specific challenges. Standardized systems are great, but may not match up with your needs.
Our high-performance water-based systems help reinforce the wellbore. This allows you to reduce torque and drag, increase available open-hole time, push the limits of wellbore geometries, reduce non-productive time, and optimize casing running speeds.
BaraHib™ is Halliburton Baroid’s next generation high-performance water-based drilling fluid. The portfolio includes the Gold, Nano and Plus versions, which prevent clay hydration and dispersion, minimize fluid loss and stabilize the wellbore.
Halliburton’s nanocomposite wellbore sealant, BaraFLC Nano-1, is formulated to seal depleted, weak formations when drilling reactive shales. The tiny nanoparticles bind tighter together than conventional sealants, preventing filtrate invasion, sealing shales and stabilizing vulnerable formations.
BaraFLC Nano-1 sealant outperforms legacy sealant products by delivering ultralow filtration on the full range of permeabilities — from 5 to 120 microns.
