Oil & Gas Drilling
Omyadrill – High purity, marble-based Calcium Carbonate for use in drilling and completion fluid applications.
Drilling for oil and gas involves many complex operations where Calcium Carbonate and various other minerals play a crucial role as additives to the drilling fluids applied in the drilling process, primarily during the drilling, well-completion and cementing phases.
For the oil & gas industry, Omya Idwala SA has developed Omyadrill a range of Calcium Carbonate products meeting the technical challenges encountered in drilling and well operations.
Omyadrill advantage:
Range of specially sized, marble-based Calcium Carbonate coming with high acid solubility, low attrition and high purity for use in drilling and completion fluid applications, such as:
- Bridging Agent
- Weighting Agent
- Wellbore Stress Management
- Loss Circulation Control
Omyadrill uses:
- Drilling fluids
