AES VERT is our standard oil-based drilling fluid system utilized on thousands of wells every year. Traditionally, AES VERT uses diesel as the base fluid, although it performs in numerous distillates where desired. AES VERT is a robust, flexible invert emulsion drilling fluid system that provides all of the benefits of invert emulsion with maximum operational efficiency. AES VERT performs across a wide range of densities and temperatures, including long horizontal wells beyond 30,000’ measured depth.

AES VERT formulations are modified for performance on specific well applications to minimize cost and maximize the benefits inherent to an invert emulsion system. A key factor in AES VERT performance is its engineered emulsifier and wetting agent packages that provide fluid stability and compatibility with minimal maintenance.
