Proven Results from the Field

At UltraLite Solutions, our performance speaks for itself. Explore real-world examples of how our tailored drilling fluid systems have helped clients overcome complex challenges, reduce NPT, and drill more efficiently.

Case Study: Improving Drillout Efficiency with Real-Time Fluid Support

Client: National Oilfield Services Provider

Challenge: The client was drilling in a high-activity area with multiple wells scheduled back-to-back. Their previous fluid program caused delayed drillouts, poor solids suspension, and recurring issues with plug debris accumulation—leading to extended completion times and increased operating costs.

Result: UltraLite deployed a dedicated team of advanced fluid technicians and implemented a custom drillout fluid optimized for debris suspension and low viscosity. With real-time monitoring and on-site adjustments, the client improved debris retrieval efficiency by over 60%. Drillout time per well was reduced by an average of 18 hours, and no cleanout runs were needed across the entire pad. The result was faster completions, minimized delays, and improved fluid performance across all stages.

Case Study: Reducing Costs & Downtime in Tight Reservoirs

Client: Mid-Sized Operator in West Texas

Challenge: The operator was experiencing frequent fluid losses and stuck pipe incidents while drilling through tight formations with depleted zones. Standard drilling fluids were not maintaining pressure balance, leading to excessive downtime, unplanned trips, and increased well costs.

Result: UltraLite introduced a custom-engineered aphron fluid system designed to reduce fluid invasion and stabilize pressure in low-permeability formations. The system maintained circulation throughout the lateral, cut unplanned trips by 40%, and reduced NPT by over 25%. The client completed the well ahead of schedule, reporting smoother drill performance and lower fluid consumption compared to previous offset wells.
