Navigate tight pressure windows and protect the reservoir

Improve drilling performance, reduce the risk of NPT from equivalent circulation densities (ECD) and hole cleaning issues, and increase access to reservoirs previously unattainable because of technical or financial constraints. 

BaraECD offers customizable fluid technology for challenging wells. It was designed to provide low-controlled ECD in narrow-margin applications, a cleaner wellbore, and provide resistance to barite sag. 

Features

  • Organophilic clay-free non-aqueous fluid system
  • Adaptable low-shear viscosity
  • Suitable for use in many reservoir applications
  • Weighting agents can be tailored to the requirements for completion screens

Benefits

  • High-pressure/high-temperature application. Stable up to 375°F (191°C), with lab qualifications up to 400°F (205°C)
  • Low fluid viscosity and superior gel structure to help with displacement and completion operations 
  • Pre-sheared for immediate deployment and application

Proven performance

BaraECD is proven and implemented in regions across the globe.

  • US onshore and offshore
  • Latin America
  • Europe - North Sea
  • Offshore Asia
  • Middle East

High-Powered Fluid

BaraECD: Versatile application, powerful aesults

BaraECD has grown from a Gulf of Mexico drilling fluid into a fully customizable solution for narrow-margin drilling and completions, with a high-pressure/high-temperature range and significant operational benefits. BaraECD has helped operators increase access to reserves and drill in areas that were uneconomical due to nonproductive time, barite sag, wellbore instability, and downhole losses.
