Mud Systems

cost-effective & sustainable drilling solutions

Our mud systems are as unique as our customers projects, we engineer each mud system to be as economical but effective as needed to ensure our customers are successful.

The EX FORCE system is designed to emulsify diesel into the water phase of the drilling fluid. This system is highly versatile in that it can utilize diesel, mineral oil, fresh water, cut brine, and saturated brine as the base fluids. BDE systems originated out of necessity to drill through salt formations fully saturated and reduce mud weight to minimize losses to thief formations. Valence has added to the evolution of this system and can maintain emulsion without agitation to produce a stable drilling fluid while adding inhibition capabilities through brine additions.

POLY FORCE is a LSND HPWBM that provides inhibition without the additions of chlorides that often increase disposal costs. This LSND system performs best when solids are minimized and that allows for superior lubricity through long laterals.

THERMO FORCE HT is a uniquely designed WBM that is thermally stable up to and beyond 365°F with the capability of weighting up to 16.0 lb./gal. In Extreme Torque Reducer HT will improve the lubricity of the mud system to mitigate excessive torque and/or drag, BHA/Bit Balling, and enhance over all ROP.

The IN FORCE system is Valence Drilling Fluids Diesel based mud system that has been designed to utilize different products based upon each customer's specific needs. Diesel base systems may be old technology, but Valence is utilizing different blends to match economics and strength of projects.

The MAXX FORCE SYSTEM is engineered to operate effectively in both Diesel and Synthetic base mud systems, having undergone successful testing up to 16 ppg with bottom hole temperatures reaching 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This versatile system is compatible with conventional diesel-based products as well as specialized formulations tailored for Synthetic based mud systems.
