In January 2013, Asia Drilling Oilfield Services (Beijing) Co. Ltd. set up a drilling fluid laboratory.

The company has a close cooperation with China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) in scientific research,engages experts of Drilling Fluid Research Institute of CNPC Drilling Academy as technical consultants and regularly exchanges the latest technologies of drilling fluid and waste management with Swaco and Scomi, two international well-known oilfield service companies, which lay a scientific research foundation for the company to provide integrated services covering drilling waste management, drilling fluid supply, drilling fluid additives and other oil chemicals.

Along with the continuous renewal and development of solids control equipment, it is required to prepare different mud systems to test and optimize the equipment performance parameters with the purpose of providing technical supports for manufacturing and R&D of solids control equipments.

Furthermore, the drilling fluid laboratory can conduct performance tests, preparation and adjustment of oil-based, water-based and composite drilling fluids used in drilling sites, can develop mud system formulations suitable for different blocks and stratums, and can do field simulation tests covering the whole processes of waste management and oilfield water treatment.
