Amodrill based muds can reduce environmental damage and boost rate of penetration

Amodrill Olefin is a synthetic olefin-based mud for onshore drilling that has a lower impact to workers’ health and is more environmentally sound than diesel oil mud.

After two years of drilling trials, primarily at the Noel field in Northeastern British Columbia, Canada, BP also found that drilling with the olefin produced truer gauge hole and fewer cuttings.
