Verdant Energy Solutions manufactures drilling fluid lubricants to aid in torque reduction in slim - hole directional drilling, permitting a higher RPM. We develop both oil and water - soluble lubricants, which significantly reduce torque, drag, metal surface, wear and prolong bit life.
Dosages can vary greatly depending upon the application, loading rates, etc. Verdant Energy Solutions consultants will recommend the optimum concentration required to attain the lubricity desired based on field tests.
