    “Based on the impressive, consistent results of these field trials, we have replaced all alternative OBM fluid loss additives with American Gilsonite® throughout our Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma operations.”

     – Representative from a large U.S. independent drilling fluids company

    “Gilsonite® controls free water, lowers the slurry water ratio, prevents lost circulation, increases yield and mixes faster without foaming. I’m sold on Gilsonite® G-Bond as a cheaper option to glass beads.”

     – Kevin Swikert, WTC Engineer and Technology Manager, West Texas Cementers

    “Our testing highlighted that the superior performing fluid contained American Gilsonite® uintaite versus a lower tier product employed in the competing mud system.”

     – Company spokesperson for a large, international E&P oil company with a significant presence in the US unconventional market

    “Gilsonite®-modified binders can help make stronger, longer lasting roads using significantly less product. Gilsonite® should be considered an advantageous alternative to TLA.”
