Considering our knowledge in the field, in 2012 the company has expanded its activities, providing specialized drilling fluid services”, Sandar Ei Ei Chaw explains.These services are executed by a highly specialized and skilful team of engineers and technicians who are well equipped with adequate testing tools to control the drilling fluid properties.
