Operators in North America face growing pressure to maximize well yield, extend lateral reach, and meet strict environmental standards, all while controlling costs and minimizing downtime. Every hour of lost productivity impacts your bottom line, and traditional drilling fluids often struggle in complex formations, causing wellbore instability, high ECDs, and increased operational risk.
TurboKlear™ - Meeting Today’s Oil Drilling Challenges
These challenges demand a dependable partner with proven chemistry. When drilling performance, stability, and uptime are critical, you need reliability without compromise. Perstorp, a subsidiary of PETRONAS Chemicals Group, offers TurboKlear™, high-performance potassium formate-based drilling and completion fluids that help you drill further, safer, and more sustainably. Our fully backward-integrated value chain ensures consistent quality and secure supply, while our global logistics enable rapid response to operational needs, keeping your wells productive and downtime to a minimum.
Wellbore Stability in Unconventional Horizontal Wells
Maintaining wellbore stability is essential for operational success in long-reach laterals and reactive shale formations. Perstorp’s potassium formate-based fluids TurboKlear™ are engineered to inhibit clay swelling, preserve cuttings integrity, and optimize hole cleaning, outperforming traditional weighted fluids in challenging formations.
Reducing ECD and Pump Pressure: The Potassium Formate Advantage
High Equivalent Circulating Densities (ECDs) and pump pressures can limit lateral reach and increase operational risk. By using a Newtonian fluid, TurboKlear™, operators can achieve densities up to 13.1 ppg without solids. Solids-free fluids reduce the risk of wellbore clogging, simplify waste management, and minimize formation damage.
