Drilling Fluid Odor Control

Stop odor-causing emissions from oil-based drilling mud.

Odor Control You Can Dig

Fluid (called “drilling mud”) is used when drilling oil and gas wells to lubricate and cool bits, lift cuttings, and counterbalance pressure. Often, drilling mud is oil-based and produces strong, offensive odors like that of gasoline, paint thinner, or ether.

In urban drilling projects, these odors can cause complaints from neighbors, unwanted attention from regulation groups, and even heavy fines. When mixed into drilling mud, Ecosorb® additives eliminate odor-causing emissions.

  • Diesel
  • Kerosene
