Innovative Drilling Mud Additive Saves Substantial Time and Money by Dramatically Reducing Downhole Friction

摘要

Following successful use by operators of its innovative XPL+ (Xtreme Pressure Lubrication) drilling mud additive in more than 700 North American wells, U.S.-based ProOne Inc., has expanded product distribution. Now primarily shipped from over 300 locations in 20 countries worldwide through major oilfield service company National Oilwell Varco's DistributionNOW spin-off, Eurasia locations include Nizhnevartovsk, Sakhalin, Chengdu, Shanghai and Shanghai FTZ. Impetus for this expansion was the product's unique tested and field-proven capabilities on two fronts: solving problems and saving money. It solves more than a dozen major downhole drilling challenges and, in accomplishing that, this lubricant saves as much as $1 million per well by dramatically reducing friction from a rig's entire downhole drilling system.
