to enable dehydration of formation
clays, similar to NAFs

SUPER-SAT® Deepwater riserless, salt saturated drilling  Saves operator time and money by Deepwater riserless drilling where salt
Non-dispersed fluid fluid cutting back high-density fluid with formation is present and potential shallow
seawater. flows may occur
 Formulated to provide salt saturation
and drilling mud properties after
cutback when drilling salt
 Achieve gauge hole through shallow
salt close to the mud line
 Safely dischargeable at the mud line

RISER-VIS™ Deepwater riserless drilling fluid
Non-dispersed fluid can be saturated for drilling through
shallow salt in deepwater
 Saves operator time and money by Deepwater riserless drilling where salt
cutting back high-density fluid with formation is present and potential shallow
seawater. flows may occur
 Formulated to provide required drilling
mud properties (density, rheology,
filtrate control) after cutback with little
or no treatment
 Achieve gauge hole through shallow
salt close to the mud line
 Safely dischargeable at the mud line
