Oil & gas drilling products and solutions

Cement retarders

Designed to perform across a broad range of temperatures and conditions, our PLONOR-approved cement retarders are made from lignin, a sustainable biopolymer.

Fluid Loss Control Agents

Our fluid loss control additives function at temperatures up to 200°C (400°F) to control fluid migration in difficult drilling situations.

Mud Thinners

Our chrome-free drilling mud thinners function well at bottom hole temperatures up to 120°C (248°F). They are made from lignin, a sustainable biopolymer.

H2S Scavengers

The BioDrill® GreenScav technology combines metal salts with lignin-based chelating agents to provide completely soluble H2S scavengers for use in most brine and freshwater drilling fluid systems.
