Drilling Products
Drilling Products & Categories
DrillChem works alongside operators to deliver dependable products and practical support that keep operations running efficiently. Our locally produced formulations are developed by an experienced technical team and proven through rigorous laboratory and field testing to ensure consistent, reliable results.
Wellbore Strengthening Material
TerraLock
Multi-modal particle system for near-wellbore stabilization and microfracture reinforcement. Designed to remain suspended and fully retained within the active mud system. Minimal effect on rheology, ECD, and overall fluid properties. Effective when run as a system treatment, sweeps, or concentrated pills.
Sealants
DrillChem specializes in developing advanced sealant solutions that provide unparalleled protection against fluid loss, formation damage, and other downhole challenges. Our high-performance sealants are engineered to ensure wellbore stability, enhance zonal isolation, and optimize overall drilling efficiency.
Permian Blend
High-performance, versatile sealant for rapid microfracture bridging and circulation recovery. A single sack lost circulation solution designed to remediate a variety of loss scenarios from minor seepage up to total losses.
Blockade
A highly concentrated, water-soluble blend of surfactants that breaks down clays and shales to prevent them from sticking to rods and tooling, delivering strong detergency at low concentrations. Can be used standalone or alongside other additives.
Combat
Heavy-duty sealant engineered for severe loss zones and highly fractured intervals. This coarse granular‑blend LCM is designed for heavy seepage through total losses and can be applied in targeted sweeps or high‑pressure pills.
Lubricants
DrillChem’s chemical lubricants are engineered to cut friction, protect steel, and keep drilling assemblies moving smoothly through the toughest formations. Built in Texas and proven across U.S. basins, our lubricants give operators the dependable performance and downhole consistency they need to stay efficient and ahead of schedule.
Drill-Lube Gold Star
A premium lubricity booster for water‑based fluids that cuts friction and protects metal surfaces. Built to work across fresh water and brine systems, it keeps downhole movement smooth and reliable.
Drill-Lube HE
Thermal stable lubricant engineered for elevated temperature drilling conditions. Ultra‑concentrated design reduces friction and supports extended‑reach performance across fresh water and brine systems.
Drill-Lube OBM
Optimized lubricity additive for oil‑based mud systems with emulsion stability. Reduces torque and drag with strong thermal tolerance up to 350°F for consistent OBM performance.
Inhibitors
DrillChem’s inhibitors are designed to control reactive clays, protect wellbore stability, and keep drilling operations running smoothly. They help maintain consistent performance in challenging formations and support more efficient, trouble free drilling across a wide range of water based systems.
HydroForce
A shale inhibitor promoting stability in reactive formations. This cationic blend cuts hydration, strengthens cuttings, and helps maintain a stable wellbore while effectively replacing KCl.
HydroSurf
Surface‑active inhibitor enhancing fluid–rock interaction and cuttings transport. Liquid surfactant blend boosts ROP, improves lubricant efficiency, and reduces cuttings beds in clear brine systems.
