Flushing systems
for deep drilling
To achieve the best results in every soil formation, Sirius-ES offers various flushing systems. The following list shows an excerpt of our available flushing systems. Water-based flushing is the most commonly used. We can also provide products for completion, invert emulsion, or low-toxicity OBM.
Service & Equipment for Deep Drilling
- Field Engineering – Maximum efficiency and expertise at the drilling site. We work hand in hand with suppliers and service providers to ensure smooth and timely implementation.
- Laboratory Service - Laboratory technicians with many years of experience with drilling fluids.
- Logistics Engineering - Sufficient stock levels enable fast availability and maximum reliability.
- Compact Units - Each unit consists of two centrifuges, a flocculent station and a recovery system.
- Field laboratories - Our laboratory containers combine a lounge and work area – for flushing analyses according to DIN EN ISO 10414-1:2008 directly on site.
- Test Kits - The test kit reliably measures the volume fraction of sand particles in drilling fluids according to standards – quickly and precisely.
Water-based drilling
-
Weighting agent
Weighting agents increase the weight of water-based and invert-emulsion irrigation systems to, among other things, control formation pressure, prevent formation hollowing, and allow weighted pills to be used for different applications.

Commercial products
plaster
-
Salts
The different salts are used for different purposes in drilling fluids, e.g. as a solids-free weighting agent and for clay inhibition by potassium ions.
-
Alkalinity
Alkalinity is one of the most important chemical properties of drilling fluids and can be controlled using the listed materials. The alkalinity of the total drilling fluid and the API filtrate is crucial in many drilling operations to ensure the correct drilling fluid properties.
-
Lubricants
Lubricants reduce the coefficient of friction, torque and sliding resistance of the BHA and are used in drilling fluids for boreholes with high deviation and large lateral extent.

Clay inhibitors & coatings
Clay-inhibiting and coating products are designed for use in salt or freshwater drilling fluid systems. They reduce many problems caused by gumbo-like clay and improve the integrity of the drill cuttings.
-
flocculant
Flocculants aid the clumping of fine solids to facilitate settling and removal from the fluid system. Flocculants are used to flocculate clays and colloidal solids or to help remove fine particles from the rinsing system and reduce dilution rates.
Anionic
Cationic
-
Thinners & Dispersants
Thinners and dispersants alter the relationships between viscosity and solids content in drilling fluids.
-
Defoamer
Defoamers control foam formation by reducing surface tension and support the breakdown of bubbles in the liquid.

Viscosifiers & Fluid Loss Reducers
Viscosifiers establish the load-bearing capacity, suspension properties, and gelatinous properties in drilling fluids. These products impart the fundamental rheological properties to the drilling fluid. These properties can be enhanced with other additives to provide an optimal technical solution for each individual drilling situation.
-
borehole stabilizer
For borehole stabilization, specially formulated products are used that support the consolidation of borehole walls (e.g., protection of soft clay deposits, prevention of spalling and erosion, etc.), create lower permeabilities due to their sealing properties, and prevent the propagation of formation weaknesses.
-
Corrosion inhibitors
For the preservation of water-based liquids and technical emulsions. Suitable for controlling corrosion caused by H₂S, carbon dioxide, and dissolved salts
-
Pipe Freeing Agents
Designed for easy and quick mixing of spotting fluids that dewater the filter cake and lubricate the surface between the pipe and the borehole.
-
Biostabilizers
Protects water-based drilling and completion fluids against bacterial influences.
-
Scavengers
Contains organic H₂S and oxygen binders.
-
Lost Circulation
Sirius-ES offers a wide range of proven lost circulation materials (LCMs). These include basic LCMs ranging from granules, flakes and fibers to specially developed blends for various LCM applications.
Geothermal innovation
Sirius-ES specializes in deep drilling and is therefore in demand for all types of geothermal projects. Our innovative approach also qualifies us for important European research projects, such as the Horizon 2020 project ThermoDrill .
