We've used mica for seepage control for years, and PETRA Mica FMC performed as expected. It stayed in suspension well and didn't cause problems with our mud properties. Good quality material with sensible packaging, and the sales contact was easy to deal with."
"PETRA Plug FMC did what we needed it to when we hit a loss zone. The particle sizing was consistent, and the material mixed in easily through our hopper. Bags came in clean and labeled by grade, so the crew had no confusion on the pad. A dependable LCM option."
"We pumped PETRA Fiber FMC when we started seeing seepage losses, and it helped bring the situation under control without plugging our equipment. It's simple to add to the system. The sacks were dry
"We trialed the 51% grade of PETRA SB Latex against our usual supplier, and it held its own on fluid loss and sealing. Consistency between drums was good, which makes life easier at the mixing station. Their team followed up after delivery to check how the trial went, which we don't see often."
"We introduced PETRA SB Latex 48% on a well with permeable formations, and the filtrate numbers came in tighter than we had seen before. It stirred into the system easily, and the crew had no handling complaints. Delivery was timely, and the drums were properly sealed."
"We needed a clean viscosifier for a workover fluid and tried PETRA HEC. It built viscosity smoothly and left the fluid looking clean, with no signs of poor hydration. Our team found it easy to handle, and the paperwork was complete before the shipment left. We'd use it again."
"PETRA CMC HV gave us the viscosity build and fluid loss control we were after on a water-based section. It hydrated evenly, and we didn't have to chase the rheology afterward. The packaging was sturdy, and the supplier replied to every question quickly. Good value for the performance."
"In our lab testing, PETRA CMC LV brought filtrate down without pushing viscosity up, which is exactly what we need for our low-solids systems. Results were repeatable across the lots we received. It dissolved readily, and the powder was dry and free-flowing. We'll continue to specify it."
"We used PETRA SIL N as part of our shale stabilization package on a water-based mud job. It mixed in cleanly, and we saw firmer cuttings at the shakers within a couple of circulations. The drums arrived sealed and in good order, and the technical sheet answered the handling questions our safety lead had."
"The liquid format of PETRA PHPA made a real difference for us on location. We could dose it straight from the tote without any pre-mixing, which saved time on a tight job. Shale stability was good, and viscosity stayed in the range we wanted. It's a practical option for crews working with limited space."
"PETRA PHPA Powder dispersed well in our mixing hopper with no lumps, which isn't always the case with polymers. It did its job on shale encapsulation, and our returns looked cleaner. Bags were intact and clearly labeled when they reached our yard. A solid product from a supplier that returns calls."
"We ran PETRA Gly MC on an offshore campaign, and it settled into the system without fuss. It helped with shale stability, and the crew noticed smoother drilling through the reactive intervals. The supplier kept us informed about the shipment all the way to the dock, which made planning easier."
