The DRILLING FLUID TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM was engineered specifically to reduce the risks and complications associated with drilling HTHP wells using oil-base drilling fluids. 

The technology is specifically focused on efficient heat transfer in drilling fluids and has a proven track record, showing an impressive impact on drilling efficiency. This technology can reduce risk factors and drilling complications while simultaneously increasing safety and decreasing operating costs. Even the most temperature-tolerant fluids have their limits before they begin to break down or behave erratically and cause problems such as fluid loss, reduced viscosity, stuck pipe and unstable filter cakes. In the case of oil- or synthetic base fluids, additional problems can occur at the surface. The overheated fluids can release fumes that result in uncomfortable or hazardous breathing conditions for rig crews. In addition, any drilling fluids heated beyond their limits can produce inaccurate readings from Measurement While Drilling (MWD) and Logging While Drilling (LWD) tools as well as excessive wear on the elastomers found in these tools and in the BOP, riser, shakers, centrifuges and mud pumps.
