PDVSA INTEVEP Technologies in oil well drilling

The orimulsion, the generation of catalytic technologies and the development of HDH (process which transform heavy crudes in light crudes), are examples of some of the well known technologies developed by PDVSA INTEVEP. But the drilling oil wells technologies developed by the same entreprise, even though are very important, are less known all around the world. This document describes some products developed through those technologies: THIXOGASTM which is an antimigratory aditive; INTEFLOWTM which is a fluid for drilling, complementation and rehabilitation of oil drills; INTERCABTM which is an aditive for fluids in drilling; orimatita which is a denser for drilling fluids; CARBOLIGTM which is an aditive for drilling fluids; and many other products and technologies in development, impacted considerably the venezuelan economy by preserving the environment and saving quite an important amount of money in 1997 (Bs. 3.000 M M)
