PRODUCT SUPPLY
A Comprehensive Selection of High-Quality Drilling Fluid Additive Chemicals for Drilling Operations
No matter the drilling method you use, Di-Corp has the technical knowledge and a diverse range of quality drilling mud additives to help you achieve smoother, more efficient drilling operations. Our weighting agents, wetting agents, pH control solutions, and lost circulation materials help stabilize reactive shales, enhance drill string performance, and improve cuttings transport in water-based muds and other drilling fluid systems.
Bentonites
Adding drilling mud viscosity improves cuttings transport, maintains wellbore stability, and optimizes filtration control while managing drilled solids, bit balling, and the water phase.
Cements & Grouts
Used to prevent fluid migration between formation layers, secure casing strings in place, provide zonal isolation and support wellbore stability.
Drilling Chemicals
Discover drilling chemicals, including shale stabilizers, cement accelerators, and contaminant treatment additives, to enhance your drilling operations.
Drilling Foam
Lift cuttings to the surface, reduce friction, stabilize the wellbore, and control fluid loss in porous formations.
Flocculants
Enhance dewatering and water clarification during clear water drilling with our flocculants, which also serve as viscosifiers and foam stabilizers.
Greases & Lubricants
Significantly minimize torque and drag in directional or deviated wells to improve drilling performance.
Lost Circulation Materials
Seal fractures and porous formations to prevent drilling fluid loss into the surrounding rock and maintain wellbore stability.
Polymers
Increasing the viscosity of drilling fluids improves cuttings transport, stabilizes the wellbore, and ensures fluid loss control.
Specialty Products
Boost the productivity and safety of your drilling projects by using drilling fluid additives, including foaming control agents and defoamers, to optimize performance.
Thinners/Dispersants
Optimize drilling fluid performance by regulating rheological properties, viscosity control, and gel strengths.
Waste Treatment & Solidifying Agents
Effective solidification reduces waste volume and enhances environmental safety and compliance by stabilizing waste and improving disposal processes with waste treatment agents.
Weighting Materials
Increase the mud density to manage wellbore pressure and prevent blowouts.

What are the primary chemicals used in drilling mud?
Drilling muds use different chemicals to help with the drilling process. For example, bentonite and barite are used to adjust viscosity and density. Calcium carbonate helps seal holes, and polyacrylamide keeps the mud stable. Other additives include sodium and potassium chloride to prevent clay swelling, xanthan gum to enhance viscosity, and caustic soda to control pH. These components are carefully mixed to create drilling muds that ensure effective drilling, wellbore stability, and efficient cuttings transport.
Is drilling mud toxic?
While drilling mud is not toxic, the chemical reactions from mixing various common drilling fluid additives can create mild toxicity. Therefore, it’s important to always wear proper PPE when handling drilling mud chemicals and additives to stay safe.
