List of some of the chemicals which are manufactured and some of the chemicals supplied by Petropath Fluids India Pvt. Ltd.:

EP LUBE:

EP lube is used in oil and gas drilling to reduce torque and drag, which helps in lowering the potential of bottom hole assembly balling in water-based mud systems under extreme pressure conditions. It is particularly effective in directional and crooked holes, deeper holes, and packed holes where frictional forces are relatively high.

SPOTTING FLUID:

Spotting fluid is used in oil and gas drilling to free stuck pipes by reducing friction and breaking up filter cakes or debris that may be causing the pipe to stick. It is also used in cementing operations to accurately place cement behind casing or liners, creating a strong and effective seal.

DRILLING DETERGENT:

Drilling detergents are used in oil and gas drilling to reduce surface tension and improve lubrication, which helps in minimizing bit balling and enhancing the removal of drill cuttings. They also stabilize shale formations, reducing the risk of wellbore instability and improving overall drilling efficiency.

RIG WASH:

Rig wash is used in oil and gas drilling to clean rigs and equipment by removing oil, grease, and drilling muds. It is effective in both freshwater and seawater, and can be used full strength or diluted for various cleaning tasks

SULPHONATED ASPHALT:

Sulphonated asphalt is used in oil and gas drilling to enhance drilling fluid performance by reducing corrosion rates and improving lubricity. It forms a protective film on metal surfaces, stabilizes drilling fluids, and is compatible with various drilling fluid types.

PPDEFOAMER:

Defoamers are essential in oil and gas drilling to prevent foam formation in drilling fluids, which can impair drilling efficiency and cause equipment damage. They work by reducing surface tension, breaking down existing foam, and ensuring smooth operations, thereby enhancing overall drilling performance.

CAUSTIC SODA:

Caustic soda is used in oil and gas drilling to control the pH of drilling fluids, which helps in stabilizing the mud properties and preventing the formation of acidic environments that can corrode drilling equipment. It also aids in shale stabilization by preventing swelling and disintegration, thereby enhancing wellbore stability and reducing the risk of drilling complications.

RESINATED LIME:

Resinated lime, also known as hydrated lime or calcium hydroxide, is used in oil and gas drilling to increase the pH of drilling fluids, providing excess lime as an alkalinity buffer and improving hole cleaning by removing soluble carbonate ions. It also helps in controlling corrosion and enhancing the performance of emulsifiers in oil-based drilling fluids.

PAC-R:

PAC-R is a modified natural cellulosic polymer used in oil and gas drilling to provide filtration control in water-based drilling fluids, enhancing borehole stability in water-sensitive formations and reducing rotational torque and circulating pressure. It is effective in small quantities, compatible with other drilling fluid additives, and resistant to harsh environments and contaminants

CITRIC ACID:

Citric acid is used in oil and gas drilling to reduce the pH of drilling fluids and remove calcium ions, which helps in preventing scale formation and maintaining fluid properties. It also acts as a chelating agent, sequestering metal ions to enhance drilling efficiency and ensure wellbore integrity.

CMC-HVG:

CMC-HVG (High Viscosity Grade Carboxymethyl Cellulose) is a crucial additive in the oil and gas drilling industry, used to enhance the viscosity and control the rheological properties of water-based drilling fluids. It effectively reduces API filtration rates, minimizes fluid loss, and stabilizes wellbore integrity, making it suitable for various drilling conditions from freshwater to saturated saltwater. Additionally, CMC-HVG is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and resistant to bacterial fermentation and calcium contamination, ensuring safe and efficient drilling operations.

CMC-LVG:

CMC-LVG (Low Viscosity Grade Carboxymethyl Cellulose) is used in the oil and gas drilling industry as a fluid loss control agent in drilling fluids. It helps form a thin, resilient filter cake on the wellbore walls, reducing the amount of drilling fluid that seeps into the surrounding formation, thus maintaining wellbore stability. Additionally, CMC-LVG enhances the overall performance of drilling fluids by improving their viscosity and suspension properties, ensuring efficient removal of drill cuttings and preventing issues such as stuck pipes.

NIFA:

Non-invasive fluid (NIF) additives in the oil and gas drilling industry are designed to prevent fluid invasion into the formation and protect the wellbore from damage. They create a thin, flexible, and pressure-resistant seal that prevents fluid loss and maintains wellbore stability.

CELLO PHANE FLAKES

In the oil and gas industry, maintaining control over the drilling process is paramount to ensuring safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. One of the most common challenges faced during drilling operations is “lost circulation,” where drilling fluids (mud) unintentionally escape into porous rock formations or fractures.

XC POLYMER:

XC polymer is used in oil and gas drilling as a viscosifier and stabilizer in drilling fluids. It enhances the mud’s ability to suspend drill cuttings and improves wellbore stability. Additionally, XC polymer maintains its performance across a wide range of temperatures and salinities, making it suitable for various drilling conditions.

SODA ASH:

BENTONITE:

Bentonite is used in oil and gas drilling as a key component of drilling mud due to its ability to stabilize boreholes, control fluid loss, and remove cuttings. It forms a gel-like substance when mixed with water, which helps in lubricating the drill bit, reducing friction, and maintaining wellbore stability.

PAC-LV:

PAC-LV (Polyanionic Cellulose Low Viscosity) is a water-soluble polymer used in oil and gas drilling to control fluid loss and enhance wellbore stability. It forms a thin filter cake that reduces fluid loss, minimizes formation damage, and improves drilling efficiency.

PP LINSEED OIL:

Linseed oil is used in the oil and gas drilling industry as a base oil for oil-based drilling fluids, providing viscoelastic and thixotropic properties that help suspend cuttings and maintain drilling operations. Its ability to form a solid film through autoxidation and polymerization makes it a potential eco-friendly alternative to mineral oil-based drilling fluids

MICA:

Mica, specifically muscovite mica flakes, is used in the oil and gas drilling industry as an additive in drilling fluids to prevent loss of circulation and seepage. Its platy structure allows it to form a sealant that bridges openings in porous formations, helping to regain circulation and keep solids in suspension.

BARYTE:

Barite is extensively used in the oil and gas drilling industry as a weighting agent in drilling muds to increase fluid density, control well pressure, and prevent blowouts. Its chemical inertness ensures drilling fluid stability, while its softness reduces equipment friction
