Axis WellChem
Compact products for remote drilling.
We are developing a focused range of dry, high-value drilling-fluid products that can be dispatched quickly to remote operations. Every shipment remains subject to batch release, current SDS review and carrier acceptance.
Launch status: supplier qualification and product validation in progress. Product supply is quoted only after the required specification and logistics route are confirmed.
AX HV Polymer
High-yield dry polymer candidate for viscosity, clay inhibition, hole cleaning and friction reduction in water-based mineral-exploration systems.
- PHPA-based candidate grades
- Fresh-to-saline screening
- 15–25 kg bag formats targeted
AX PAC-HV
High-viscosity polyanionic cellulose candidate for filtration control and rheology in water-based drilling fluids.
- API 13A / ISO 13500 test basis

- Moisture and purity verification
- Lot-specific certificate of analysis
AX Xan
Drilling-grade xanthan candidate for cuttings suspension and low-shear carrying capacity.
- API 13A test basis
- Rheology checked against a retained sample
- Microbiology and shelf-life review
AX Water Prep
Dry water-conditioning products selected from a site-water test to support predictable polymer hydration and treatment response.
- Hardness and pH-led selection
- Controlled dosing sheet
- SDS verified before dispatch
AX LCM Select
Fine and medium lost-circulation candidates selected for the loss mechanism, mixing equipment and geological constraints.
- Particle-size distribution recorded
- Quarantine and carrier checks
- Trial volume before campaign supply
Names describe proposed Axis product families, not equivalence to another supplier's branded formulation. Final packaging, specification and air-freight eligibility are confirmed from current batch documentation and the freight provider before sale.
Visible QA/QC
Evidence travels with the product.
Marketplace badges and supplier claims are treated as leads, not proof. Axis releases a product only after the required evidence is assembled and the agreed checks pass.
- 1. Qualify the sourceConfirm the legal manufacturer, production site, quality system, export history and document authenticity.
- 2. Test the sampleCompare a pre-order sample with the agreed specification using relevant API 13A / ISO 13500 methods or a documented project-specific method.
- 3. Lock the specificationApprove a reference sample, acceptance limits, packaging, labelling and change-notification requirements before purchase.
- 4. Inspect the batchCollect the batch COA, SDS, TDS, manufacturing and expiry dates; use independent pre-shipment inspection when risk warrants it.
- 5. Release and retainVerify identity, packaging and key performance results on receipt. Record the lot and retain a sample for traceability.
- 6. Close the loopRecord field dosage, fluid properties, performance and exceptions so the next recommendation uses measured results.

Anonymised prior project experience · Indonesia
Correcting the data before correcting the model.
A shallow coal project in Bengkulu Province required renewed confidence in its geological model after a change of ownership. Thin economic coal intervals made wireline depth and seam correlation critical.

Connected field operations
One operational picture from rig to office.
Axis is developing an instrumentation, logging and reporting service for programs where the office needs timely, auditable visibility of field conditions and decisions.
Rig and pump activity
Capture rotary RPM and pump strokes from a suitable encoder, proximity sensor or approved control-system signal.
Mud tanks and returns
Track tank level, transfers, flow balance and return temperature using instruments selected for the tank geometry and fluid conditions.
Fluid condition
Combine continuous temperature and conductivity with calibrated manual checks for viscosity, density, sand, pH and water chemistry.
Field-to-office link
A rugged edge gateway buffers readings locally and securely synchronises through available satellite, cellular or site networks.
Decision trail
Show what changed, why it changed, who approved it and what happened next—giving operations and management the same record.
Geological potential
Scope lithology, sample and interval logging with the client geologist under an agreed project reporting standard.
Pilot installation scope
From physical sensor to useful decision.
Confirm rig interfaces, tank geometry, available ports, power, communications, hazardous-area requirements and client data rules.
Fit non-intrusive sensors where practical: rotary RPM, pump strokes, radar or ultrasonic tank level, temperatures and flow. Pressure uses an approved safe connection.
Bring 4–20 mA, pulse and Modbus signals into an isolated field gateway with timestamping, validation and local store-and-forward buffering.
Securely publish measurements, manual tests, alarms, trends and shift events to an online dashboard for authorised field and office users.
Final instruments and installation method require a site inspection and engineering review. Foam, vapour, agitation, pipe layout and hazardous-area classification can change the correct sensor choice. The pilot includes commissioning checks, calibration records and a documented fallback when connectivity is unavailable.
Technical problem review
Start with the field symptom.
Select a common operating problem to see the information Axis would review. These are investigation pathways, not treatment instructions; the correct response depends on the rig, formation, water and fluid system.
Loss investigation
Returns are falling or disappearing
Correlate flow imbalance and tank movement with depth, ROP, pump changes, formation observations and treatment history before selecting a response.
Evidence to collect
- Flow in/out and verified tank volumes
- Depth, lithology and loss onset
- Pressure, pump rate and fluid properties
Possible output: verified loss timeline, severity classification, monitored response plan and material/logistics requirement.
Illustrative worked example
A decision trail clients can audit.
This fictional example demonstrates the reporting method. It does not represent a completed Axis project.
Flow balance moves from −6 to −78 L/min while the active tank trend confirms a volume decline.
The driller confirms tank line-up; the team correlates the onset with depth, formation and operating changes.
A project-approved response is logged with owner, time, quantities, acceptance criteria and escalation point.
Returns, tank volume and pressure are trended against the action, producing a shift-ready decision record.
