Oil Field Materials
Primary market — Oil Field Materials
A modified starch additive supplied to oil-field customers for water-based drilling fluid systems. Grades and technical specifications are available on request.
Product overview
Drilling starch is used in water-based drilling fluid systems to control filtration. NPE supplies it as a free-flowing powder in the grade agreed with the customer.
Performance in a mud system depends on the whole formulation, so NPE does not publish fixed performance values. The requirement is confirmed at enquiry stage and applied as the release basis for the material supplied.
Packing is moisture-protected and selected for the transit route, with documentation prepared for the destination market.
