M-I SWACO, a Schlumberger company, declared the release of the RHADIANT† ultra-high temperature non-aqueous drilling fluid system. This system eliminates drilling fluid product degradation, prevents wellbore control issues such as barite sag and provides a thin filter cake for enhanced logging conditions.

“With wellbores approaching the 500 degF (260 degC) threshold, there is a need for a drilling fluid that can remain stable and deliver consistent performance throughout the processes of well construction and openhole logging,” said Joe Bacho, president, M-I SWACO. “The RHADIANT drilling fluid system has a field-proven record of providing excellent logging conditions to enable efficient operations and quality reservoir characterization.”
