xFORM frequently asked questions

Why choose multifunctional fluids?

xFORM multifunctional fluids take the guesswork out of onsite preparations and execution. You can trust that bringing the one fluid to site will deliver you the optimal mud program.

  • One fluid resolves challenges for multiple common drilling problems.
  • Simplify inventory management with a streamlined supply chain to support your next drill site.
  • Reduce administrative paperwork with just one fluid to register for QHSE compliance and risk assessment.
  • Trust in our lab developed and field-tested multifunctional formulas, backed by over 40 years of experience supporting drilling contractors to achieve optimal results

Why is viscosity a common functional need?

Our drilling fluids offer optimal viscosity, enabling stabilisation of the drill string centrally in the borehole. 

This reduces rod chatter and vibration, resulting in improved drilling efficiency and accuracy.

How does the multifunctional range help with hole cleaning?

Effective hole cleaning is crucial for efficient drilling. Our drilling fluids have the ability to transport rock fragments (cuttings) from the drill hole. 

Additionally, the right fluids can suspend drilled cuttings even when the drilling fluid is not in motion. This ensures the borehole remains clear, allowing for smoother drilling operations

Does the multifunctional range address fluid loss?

Fractured and porous formations are prone to fluid loss, where drilling fluid leaks into the surrounding geology. 

xFORM D+ is designed to minimise fluid loss. By preventing excessive fluid loss, we can maintain stability of the formation around the drill hole.

Does the xFORM multifunctional fluid range reduce common concerns including torque and improving bit life?

Yes, xFORM L+ offers lubrication properties that reduce friction and wear between surfaces. 

By minimising friction and wear, drill torque is reduced, leading to increased efficiency and improved equipment life.

How does the multifunctional range minimise potential damage to the formation and ensures a more stable drilling environment?

Drilling in poorly consolidated or water-sensitive geologies can cause structural degradation. 

xFORM multifunctional drilling fluids incorporate formation stabilisers to preserve the structural integrity of the geology and its matrix during drilling. This helps minimise potential damage to the formation and ensures a more stable drilling environment.
