Driving Wellbore Shielding® ScienceWellbore Shielding® is our proprietary science which sets the industry standard for conquering wellbore stability challenges. To develop unique solutions that fulfill unmet needs in the oilfield, even the most advanced conventional lab equipment won’t suffice. Impact designs our own testing techniques and tools to simulate downhole conditions as accurately as possible. Our scientists also use leading-edge, non-oilfield lab equipment for research. We go to these lengths to continue advancing Wellbore Shielding science as we develop the next generation of fluid additives and spacer systems.

Combining Diverse Scientific

Advanced Science Sets Us ApartStaying at the forefront of specialty oilfield additives is no small undertaking. It starts with an ongoing commitment to R&D investment. It requires a world-class lab that exceeds the industry’s highest standards. And it takes a multidisciplinary team of scientists with expertise gained across thousands of wells worldwide.

All of these elements come together at the Impact Fluid Solutions Global Technology Center in Cornwall, U.K. This state-of-the-art facility is our hub for pioneering solutions to complex wellbore challenges—and backing them with the highest level of customer support.

Combining Diverse Scientific DisciplinesScientists comprise a large portion of our company, representing diverse disciplines including chemical engineering, geology and petroleum engineering. Training programs for lab personnel run throughout the year.

Our sales and field engineering teams are also educated at our Global Technology Center to ensure we provide expert customer support at every interaction.

To supplement our in-house capabilities, our scientists maintain strong partnerships with peers within the industry and the academic community.

Delivering Expert Technical SupportThe Global Technology Center is our base for providing comprehensive technical services before, during and after your project. Throughout the process, our scientists work closely with our sales team and field technicians to ensure you receive the solutions and support you need.

�� Analysis & Diagnosis – Impact uses API standard protocols and our own in-house testing methods to understand your wellbore challenges and identify the optimal solution from our product portfolio.

�� Technical Services – With all API standard equipment, our scientists can mix and test any drilling fluid, cement slurry, spacer or surfactant to demonstrate how our solutions will perform in your specific application.

�� Field Support – At the wellsite, highly trained field technicians align lab diagnostics with real-world conditions to ensure peak product performance.

Exceeding the Highest Quality StandardsImpact not only meets API testing requirements but exceeds them with our ISO 9001:2015 accreditation, which encompasses all standard operating procedures. Our R&D process is highly controlled—from

feasibility through commercialization—through a stage-gate framework that includes extensive field trials to prove our solutions perform as designed.

In addition to our Global Technology Center, we operate a Quality Assurance Support Lab in Houston focused primarily on QA/QC. Every batch we deliver is backed up by Impact’s Certificate of Analysis.
