- In May 2024, TAQA unveiled Threlix, an advanced drilling technology designed to reduce downtime and increase productivity for oil and gas operators. Threlix addresses drilling dysfunctions, such as vibration and torsional oscillations, commonly associated with Rotary Steerable Systems (RSS). By mitigating stick-slip and inconsistent torque, Threlix enhances drilling reliability and cost-effectiveness, preventing equipment damage
- In September 2023, Halliburton Company introduced BaraFLC Nano-I, a nanocomposite suspension designed to enhance wellbore stability. This innovative sealant works with Halliburton’s conventional and high-performance water-based fluid systems, creating tighter, more secure seals to reduce fluid loss into formations. By utilizing nanoparticles, BaraFLC Nano-I prevents pore pressure transmission caused by interactions between filtrate and reactive shale formations, reinforcing wellbore integrity and extending drilling efficiency
- In August 2023, Italmatch Chemicals Group expanded its fluid loss additive portfolio with the introduction of Aubin CFL-600L, a cement additive designed to eliminate fluid loss in oilfield applications. This marks the first cement additive launched under the Aubin brand since Italmatch’s acquisition of Aubin in 2022. The additive enhances water adsorption on cement surfaces, preventing water loss and ensuring reliable hydration for well construction
- In November 2022, NanoMalaysia Bhd introduced Synergy 10AS Nano, a fluid loss additive designed for drilling applications in the oil and gas sector. This graphene-infused additive, developed under the National Graphene Action Plan (NGAP) 2020, enhances sealing properties and reduces fluid loss, improving well integrity and operational efficiency. Synergy 10AS Nano meets Petronas Technical Standards and performs well under high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) conditions
