Drilling fluids services in Venezuela
Drilling, completion and workover fluids with engineering and laboratory support.
PROAMSA has provided drilling fluids in Venezuela since 2004, when it acquired the national drilling-fluids line of Baker Hughes INTEQ. We supply products and engineering for drilling, completion and workover, for PDVSA and international companies, from operating bases in Maturín (east) and Las Morochas (west).
Fluid systems
- Water-based fluid systems
