One of the areas that has long set M-I SWACO apart is the development of proprietary, purpose-built engineering software.

  • Drilling Fluid Advisor is about borderless access to expertise, data aggregation and analysis, logistical refinements and, of course, fluid health and performance downhole. We optimize drilling fluids in a way no one else can—to complete your drilling system with the right expertise anytime, and from anywhere, for the right outcomes to your drilling operations.
  • OPTIBRIDGE bridging agent selection software enables us to precisely and quickly select correctly sized bridging agents.
  • PRESSPRO RT real-time downhole performance measurement software delivers in-time solutions for effective ECD management, optimized well planning and tripping and casing schedules, dynamic reconnaissance ahead of the bit, and interactive 3D visualization and accurate downhole profiles for drilling, tripping, and casing operations.
  • RheoProfiler automated rheometer provides a thorough, yet straightforward system capable of testing density and rheological properties of all mud types—water, oil, and synthetic. And it all comes in a compact design.
  • VIRTUAL HYDRAULICS drilling fluid simulation software has been the industry standard for helping mitigate drilling problems. Our applied engineering group continues to evolve VIRTUAL HYDRAULICS software to provide even more cost-effective solutions to downhole problems.
