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.
Viscosifiers, fluid loss control, shale inhibitors, 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 viscosifiers, 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.

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 part of the range, and the part Iraqi wells draw on hardest.
Lubricants that reduce friction in deviated and horizontal sections, and spotting fluids placed across a stuck string to free it.
Surfactants, filter cake breakers 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, corrosion and pipe-freeing chemistry — together with the powder-form equivalents of the invert emulsion additives.
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 four countries. Product designations, classifications, technical data sheets and certificates of analysis are the manufacturer's, issued under the manufacturer's own quality system.
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.
