Drilling Fluids & Oilfield Chemicals
Supplier of the additive range behind a complete mud programme — water-based systems, invert emulsion systems and their powdered equivalents — to operators, drilling contractors and mud service companies, with the documentation, logistics and technical support that accompany them.
Capabilities
Galaxy Drilling Fluids Pvt Ltd is a supply company. The four areas below are the whole of the business.
Viscosity and fluid loss control, shale inhibition, lost circulation material, lubricants, emulsifiers, spotting fluids and clean-up chemistry — quoted and shipped from a single range rather than assembled across unrelated suppliers.
The company is structured to serve the Middle East, with a director resident in Iraq and a product selection weighted towards the conditions encountered on wells in the region.
Assistance selecting between grades, matching a product to the section being drilled and interpreting the manufacturer's data sheets — before the order is placed and after the consignment arrives.
Packing, export documentation and delivery to the agreed point, with technical data sheets, safety data sheets and certificates of analysis issued alongside the quotation and the consignment.
Product range
The catalogue follows the structure of a mud programme: additives are grouped by the base fluid they are formulated for.
Additives for water-based mud — viscosity and fluid loss control, shale inhibition, lost circulation and bridging material, lubricity, spotting fluids and the clean-up chemistry that runs before completion.
Open in catalogue 30 ProductsChemistry for oil- and synthetic-based mud — primary and secondary emulsifiers, wetting agents, organophilic viscosifier grades, fluid loss additives, thinners and wellbore clean-up surfactants.
Open in catalogue 9 ProductsPowder-form counterparts of the invert emulsion additives — emulsifiers, a flat-rheology viscosifier, a rheology modifier, a resin fluid-loss additive and a wetting agent, supplied dry rather than as liquids.
Open in catalogueClassification
Category names are the manufacturer's. For readers outside the mud engineering discipline, this is what each group covers — select any category to open it in the catalogue.
The additives that give the mud its body and stop it bleeding water into the formation, plus the emulsifiers and wetting agents that hold an invert emulsion together in the first place.
Thinners and dispersants that keep rheology under control as solids build up, and inhibitors that stop reactive shale swelling or sloughing into the hole.
Bridging material, seals and plugs for fractured, vuggy or depleted formations, and the products used to strengthen a weak wellbore before it breaks down. The largest single call on the range.
Lubricants that reduce friction in deviated and horizontal sections, and spotting fluids placed across a stuck string to free it.
Surfactant, filter cake breaker and displacement chemistry — the products that run at the end of the section to leave the hole and the casing clean.
Single-purpose products that sit outside the main functional groups — defoamers, scavengers, biocides, and corrosion and pipe-freeing chemistry.
Sourcing and quality
Two separate roles, held by two separate companies. This site keeps them separate.
The range presented here is sourced from an established drilling fluids manufacturer holding ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification, with production in five countries. Product designations, classifications, technical data sheets and certificates of analysis are the manufacturer's, issued under the manufacturer's own quality system.
The manufacturer employs more than 500 skilled professionals across five countries and delivers to more than 30 countries. Its drilling fluids are developed using advanced technology, factory automation and a strict quality assurance plan, with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems keeping production consistent and reliable.
The manufacturer is committed to sustainability, producing high-performance, environmentally responsible products. Its focus on innovation, quality and environmental responsibility has earned it a strong reputation in the oil and gas industry.
Those certifications belong to the manufacturer. They are described here because they are the basis on which the goods are produced — not as credentials of Galaxy Drilling Fluids Pvt Ltd.
Galaxy Drilling Fluids Pvt Ltd supplies these products. It does not manufacture them.
Questions
What buyers ask most often about the range, the supply arrangement and the documentation that comes with an order.
Galaxy Drilling Fluids Pvt Ltd supplies drilling fluid additives and oilfield chemicals — 107 products across three drilling fluid systems and 16 functional categories. The categories are Viscosifier, Fluid Loss Control, Dispersants, Shale Inhibitors, LCM, Loss Circulation, Well Bore Strengthening Both for WBM & OBM, Lubricants, Surfactants, Emulsifiers, Spotting Fluids, Filter Cake Breaker, Well Bore Clean Up, Specialities, Wetting Agents and Thinners.
No. Galaxy Drilling Fluids Pvt Ltd is a supplier, not a manufacturer. The range is produced by an established drilling fluids manufacturer holding ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification, with production in five countries. Those certifications belong to the manufacturer. Galaxy Drilling Fluids Pvt Ltd provides sourcing, documentation, logistics and technical support.
Three. Water Based carries 68 products for water-based drilling mud. Oil Based carries 30 products for oil-based and synthetic invert emulsion mud. The Polvo Series carries 9 products, the powder-form counterparts of the oil-based additives. That is 107 products in total.
The Polvo Series is the powder-form counterpart of the oil-based additive range: primary, secondary, premium, high-performance and all-in-one emulsifiers, a flat-rheology viscosifier for clay-free mud, a rheology modifier, a resin-based fluid-loss additive and a wetting agent. They are supplied dry rather than as liquids, which reduces shipping weight and simplifies storage.
Yes. The lost circulation material on offer includes sized calcium carbonate, acid-soluble calcium carbonate flakes, ground marble, walnut shells, mica, resilient graphite, blended fibre-granule-flake seals, sized LCM fibres and shredded cellulose fibres, in coarse, medium and fine grades. High fluid-loss plug products and a treated fibre LCM for oil-based mud are supplied alongside them.
Yes. Abbas Alnoori is a director of Galaxy Drilling Fluids Pvt Ltd and is resident in Iraq, reachable on an Iraqi number, which gives enquiries from the region a direct route and an answer in the same time zone as the rig. 15 products in the catalogue are flagged as the bridging, lost-circulation and salt-section grades most consumed on Iraqi wells.
Yes. Technical data sheets, safety data sheets and certificates of analysis are issued with the quotation and with the consignment. They are the manufacturer’s documents, issued under the manufacturer’s own quality system.
No. Product designations and classifications are those of the manufacturer. The descriptions explain the function of a class of chemistry and are not performance specifications for any particular grade. Technical data sheets and certificates of analysis are issued with quotation.
Use the enquiry form on this site, which lets you attach any of the 107 products by name, or email galaxydrillingfluids@gmail.com directly. Quotations are answered by a director. Giving the products, quantities and delivery point speeds it up; where the grade is not yet decided, describing the section, mud weight and temperature is enough for a recommendation.
Four things: sourcing the appropriate grade from the range for the section, mud weight and temperature being drilled; documentation, meaning technical data sheets, safety data sheets and certificates of analysis; logistics, meaning packing, export documentation and delivery to the agreed point; and technical support, meaning application advice before the order and a point of contact once the product is on location.
Enquiries
Provide the products, quantities and delivery point. Where the grade has not been decided, describe the section and a recommendation will follow.
