What if you could cut downhole losses, reduce costs, and eliminate environmental impacts with one solution?
ULTRALIGHT™ by DFT: Smarter, Cleaner, and More Efficient Wellbore Pressure Management
In drilling and workover operations, fluid losses and wellbore instability aren’t just technical problems, they’re financial risks that can derail projects, increase non-productive time, and inflate costs. For decades, operators have relied on temporary plugging agents, solids-based materials, or complex tools, each carrying hidden costs and environmental trade-offs.
That’s why Drilling Fluids Technologies (DFT) developed ULTRALIGHT™, a groundbreaking wellbore pressure management solution that redefines efficiency and reliability.
ULTRALIGHT™ isn’t just another additive; it’s a co-associating surfactant system that produces stable microbubbles in viscosified water. These microbubbles chemically reduce fluid density while forming a protective barrier against fluid invasion.
The result? Balanced pressures without solids, without mechanical plugging and without cleanup operations.
Why ULTRALIGHT™ Matters for Operators
- Cost Efficiency: By reducing or eliminating fluid losses, ULTRALIGHT™ cuts down on expensive remediation operations and saves rig time.
- ESG Advantage: Solid-free and environmentally friendly, it protects formations and eliminates the need for acid washes or cleanup processes.
- Operational Simplicity: Easy to mix, fast to deploy, and requires no additional equipment, making it adaptable across workover rigs.
- Reliable Performance: With concentrations as low as 0.1–0.4 lb/bbl, ULTRALIGHT™ can lower fluid density by up to 5 ppg, delivering stable and repeatable results.
- Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): Reduced downtime, fewer remediation steps, and faster operations.
- De-Risked Operations: Enhanced wellbore stability minimizes costly failures in low-pressure and unstable formations.
- Future-Ready Operations: Aligns with environmental compliance and sustainability goals without sacrificing performance.
ULTRALIGHT™ provides a competitive edge in today’s oilfield environment where efficiency, ESG responsibility, and cost control are non-negotiable. By simplifying wellbore pressure management, it empowers operators to do more with less; less equipment, less risk, and less environmental footprint.
At DFT, we believe innovation should solve real-world challenges. With ULTRALIGHT™, we’re not just introducing a product – “we’re delivering a step-change in wellbore pressure management”.
