Industrial Drilling

IMI has developed several solutions for your water-based muds to assist with minimizing wellbore damage and maximizing production efficiency.

Stabilize boring and drilling operations by inhibiting clay hydration and fines migration while keeping the wellbore intact.

Water-based drilling fluids serve numerous functions but problems are caused by any non-native fluid introduction to the formation, particularly during drilling, as they may be carried as migrating fines that can plug pore throats and impinge performance. Complex geologies must be addressed at the beginning of every project to minimize wellbore damage and maximize production efficiency. The IMI suite of drilling products can be used to help mitigate these issues from the start of operations.

ClayBind 2000 is a functionalized biopolymer specifically designed to control clay swelling and fines migration using a single chemical to address both functions instead of the industry standard of using two. The optimized substituents engineered on our biopolymer backbone electronically interact with clays, anchoring the molecule for the encapsulation process. Proven to be effective at low treatment concentrations, ClayBind 2000 differentiates itself with enhanced, inhibitive chemistry with finer media.

HyperGlide BT is a pipe-on-pipe lubricant designed to reduce pipe drag generated from point loading or wall contact during coiled tubing and work-over pipe movement. Designed to provide lubrication between steel surfaces, HyperGlide BT is pumped during pipe movement to allow extended horizontal depths to be achieved.

The Integrity BioChem series of dual functioning products utilizes our Engineered BioFluids for chelating and maintaining reduced iron in contaminated reservoir formation waters. Our iron control products target control for specific zones enriched in dissolved iron. They react with dissolved ferrous iron in formation, flow back and produced waters to prevent ferric iron phases from precipitating in the wellbore. The products keep the iron at the molecular level, allowing it to be flushed from the reservoir without damaging permeability. The Iron Control product line consists of neat iron-control additives compatible over a broad range of pH and with the full range of Integrity BioChem completion fluid additives.

Integrity BioChem offers a selection of high-performance scale inhibitor products for oilfield applications. We use advanced polymer chemistry to achieve best-in-class performance even in the most challenging oilfield environments – high temperature, high TDS, high iron and high scaling indices. Our scale inhibitors are compatible with most oilfield chemistries.

Integrity BioChem’s series of drilling lubricants are custom-engineered, easy-to-mix formulas designed for directional drilling and reducing drag during completion and coiled tubing operations. Our drilling lubricant line of products is biopolymer-based and engineered for challenging conditions such as high rpm drilling, high rate of penetration, highly indurated “hard” rock drilling as well as for drilling deviated holes.

Integrity Biochem’s products effectively treat paraffin in the well bore by dissolving long-chain alkanes and maintaining crude oil compatibility, while also dissolving existing paraffin and thwarting future build-up. Our asphaltene control products are flow aid dispersants for API heavy oils laden with non-alkane hydrocarbons. The product line mobilizes cyclic compounds, asphaltenes and heteroatomic species in oils for a wide range of applications.
