OilChem BORE SHIELD – Reliable Wellbore and Shale Stabilization for Challenging Drilling Conditions
Oil Chemistry Industrial Company (OilChem) is a Saudi Arabian leader in specialty chemicals designed for the oil and gas industry. With decades of experience and a focus on precision-engineered solutions, OilChem develops high-performance additives to improve drilling safety and efficiency. One of OilChem’s top innovations is BORE SHIELD. This sealing polymer improves wellbore and shale stability in both water-based and oil-based mud systems.
Superior Sealing and Stability in Every Well
OilChem engineered BORE SHIELD to seal microfractures and porous zones along the wellbore. This helps prevent fluid invasion and supports borehole stability. Its advanced polymer formulation works across various geological formations. It is especially effective in unstable shales and zones with reactive clays.
The product works by forming a flexible, low-permeability film on the wellbore surface. This barrier strengthens the borehole walls, reduces washouts, and limits the interaction between drilling fluids and reactive shale. As a result, BORE SHIELD reduces sloughing, cavings, and fluid loss. These issues often lead to costly non-productive time.
Versatile Application Across Fluid Systems
BORE SHIELD integrates easily into both water-based and oil-based drilling fluid systems. It is compatible with standard additives and maintains its sealing effectiveness without disrupting the fluid’s rheology. Engineers can add the product during initial mud design or apply it later for remedial treatments. It offers flexible performance and easy use in the field.
It performs exceptionally well under various pressure and temperature conditions, making it ideal for both shallow and deep wells. Its versatility and effectiveness help drilling teams maintain wellbore integrity across a wide range of operational challenges.
Quality You Can Count On from OilChem
OilChem produces BORE SHIELD under rigorous quality standards, ensuring consistent performance, easy handling, and long-term reliability. It is tested across real-world drilling conditions and is backed by technical support from OilChem’s expert team. As a result, BORE SHIELD stands out as a trusted solution. It effectively supports borehole sealing and shale stabilization in modern drilling operations.
