Drilling Material Additives

Resilient Graphite:

The Ultimate Solution to Reduce Mud Loss
Resilient Graphite is a cutting-edge lost circulation material (LCM) engineered to dramatically reduce mud loss during drilling operations by forming a flexible, high-purity graphite seal that conforms to fractures without damaging the formation. Proven to cut mud loss by up to 90% in field trials, it offers a cost-effective, environmentally friendly solution that enhances drilling efficiency and productivity, especially in highly fractured formations.

How can we help address your challenges?

Issue

Conventional LCMs often fail in deep or high-pressure wells, breaking down under stress and allowing fractures to reopen, which disrupts wellbore stability and increases downtime

Solution

Resilient Graphite’s elasticity and thermal stability ensure a durable seal that withstands pressure and temperature changes, making it ideal for challenging downhole environments.

Issue

Many traditional LCMs, such as fibrous or granular materials, can clog surface equipment or interfere with mud circulation systems, leading to operational inefficiencies and increased maintenance requirements.

Solution

Resilient Graphite is engineered for optimal dispersion and compatibility with a wide range of drilling fluids. Its fine particle size and inert nature prevent equipment fouling and maintain fluid rheology, ensuring seamless integration into existing mud systems without compromising performance.
