Drilling fluids
Drilling Optimisation fluids
We develop, manufacture, and supply a comprehensive range of quality drilling fluids and specialty products.
Clay & Shale Stabilisers
-
AMC 117™Provides clay/shale inhibition in polymer-based drilling fluids. 117 reduces the potential for bit balling, torque and drag, as well as other issues related to drilling clay and shale.
-
AMC CLAY DOCTOR R™An encapsulating polymer while also providing moderate amounts of viscosity. It is ideally suited to stabilising water sensitive geologies such as clays, shales, sandy or fractured formations.
-
AMC COREWELL™A multifunctional powder product that provides viscosity and high-performance encapsulation that maximises core protection and formation stabilization.
-
AMC SHALEHIB ULTRA™A high-performance clay and shale inhibitor. It is highly effective in both swelling and dispersive clays reducing the potential for bit balling, torque and drag
-
POTASSIUM CHLORIDEA soluble salt that is an efficient clay & shale stabiliser.
Filtrate control agents
-
AMC EZEE PAC L™A high-performance, highly dispersive, low-viscosity, polyanionic cellulose polymer used for improving filtration control in most water-based drilling fluid systems
-
AMC FILTREX™A liquid fluid-loss control additive that helps to stabilize troublesome and unstable formations
-
AMC PAC LV™A low-viscosity-grade, polyanionic cellulose polymer that meets or exceeds API specifications for low-viscosity PAC
-
AUS DEX™A modified polysaccharide which provides filtration control without excessive viscosity build-up
Foaming Agents & Detergents
-
AMC DET XTRA™DET XTRA is a drilling detergent which is highly effective at coating metal surfaces.
-
AMC HV FOAM™A biodegradable, highly concentrated product which has been formulated to produce a stable, high-strength foam in all types of ground water conditions
-
AMC HV FOAM SW™A highly concentrated product that has been formulated to produce a stable, high-strength foam in highly brackish and very hard water.
-
AMC SUPERFOAM™A general-purpose foaming agent that can be used in fresh and saline water and is biodegradable, making it well suited to all air-drilling applications.
Lost Circulation Materials
-
AMC BORE SEAL™Used to improve borehole stability and core recovery by improving fluid-loss control, seepage loss and other fluid-loss control situations in highly porous and fractured formations
-
AMC PLUG™A polymer in granular form that absorbs many times its original volume in water.
-
MAGMA FIBER™A lost circulation material that will reduce seepage and lost circulation by bridging and plugging off voids, fractures and all types of permeable formation.
Lubricants & Cutting Oils
-
AMC BIODEGRADABLE ROD GREASE™A biodegradable, non-toxic grease formulated from vegetable oils to produce a tenacious grease recommended for use on diamond drill rods
-
AMC BIODEGRADABLE HAMMER OIL™A vegetable oil-based hammer lubricant supplied in three grades: 150, 320 and 460 centipoise.
-
AMC BIT GUARD™Lubricant and rate of penetration (ROP) enhancer with additives to help prevent clay and ultra-mafic cuttings from balling at the bit or blocking nozzles.
-
AMC COPPER COMPOUND™A high-quality, non-melt, anti-seize thread compound containing solid lubricants to ensure outstanding lubrication and high temperature resistance.
-
AMC GORILLA GRIP™A tenacious, barium-based grease recommended for use on diamond drill rods to reduce vibration and friction between the rod and casing or rock strata.
-
AMC HAMMER OIL WITH MOLY™A mineral-oil based hammer oil supplied in two grades, 320 and 460 centipoises
-
AMC LIQUID ROD GREASE™A biodegradable oil that, when applied to a drillhole, will adhere to the formation and the steel rods to improve lubrication and reduce rotational pressure and torque.
-
AMC ROD GREASE XTRA TACKY™Tenacious, barium-based grease recommended for use on diamond drill rods to reduce vibration and friction between the rod and casing or rock strata.
-
AMC SUPERLUBE™A vegetable oil-based lubricant developed specifically for the mineral exploration industry
-
AMC THREAD GREASE™A heavy-duty thread compound. It has a wide working temperature range, a low water wash value and aids in preventing corrosion.
-
AMC THREAD GREASE CALCIUM™No. 2 consistency grease designed to reduce galling, friction and minimise wear, and is extremely tenacious and will adhere to all metal surfaces
-
AMC THREAD GREASE Zn50™A heavy duty, high performance thread compound containing 50% metallic zinc.
-
AMC TORQUE GUARD™A high-performance, vegetable oil-based lubricant developed specifically for the mineral exploration industry
-
AMC TUBE LUBE™A vegetable oil-based soap that has been developed to enable the core sample to enter and slide more easily into the inner tube promoting longer runs through fractured broken formations
Specialty Products & Chemicals
-
AMC BENTONITE PELLETS R30™Compressed tablets made from highly swelling bentonite coated with a non-sticking film that delays the hydration time
-
AMC BENTONITE PLUG™BENTONITE PLUG is used as sealant for hole abandonment, casing seals or any vertical seal to prevent water movement up or down a borehole.
-
AMC BORE HOLE STABILISER™Multifunctional product formulated specifically for air-drilling applications including Drill & Blast.
