UFS-LCM 100 Lost Circulation Preventative Blend While it is impossible to completely prevent lost circulation, the Application Excellence approach combined with UFS-LCM 100 Lost Circulation Preventative Blend can play a vital role in maintaining wellbore integrity during drilling operations. Some formations inherently contain naturally fractured or high-permeability zones that cannot be avoided if the target zone is to be reached. In these cases, the Universal Fluid Services Drilling Specialist collaborates closely with the Drilling Operator to evaluate the situation and devise a strategic plan of action. When lost-circulation zones are expected based on past experiences, the Drilling Specialist advises on essential preventive measures such as leak-off tests (LOT) and formation integrity tests (FIT). Additionally, the Drilling Specialist typically recommends the incorporation of UFS-LCM 100 Lost Circulation Preventative Blend into the drilling fluid. Laboratory-tested and field-proven in both water- and oil-based drilling fluid systems, UFS-LCM 100 Lost Circulation Preventative Blend provides an added measure of assurance during the drilling of challenging wells. This blend is specially formulated to mitigate fluid loss and support wellbore stability, making it a reliable choice for operators seeking to minimize the risks associated with lost circulation. Key Benefits of Application Excellence and UFS-LCM 100: * Enhanced Wellbore Stability: Helps maintain integrity in formations with naturally fractured or high-permeability zones. * Proven Performance: Laboratory-tested and field-proven in diverse drilling fluid systems. * Strategic Application: Tailored advice from UFS Drilling Specialists ensures optimal application for specific well conditions.

UFS Wishes You a Memorable Fourth of July The Universal Fluid Services (UFS) family wishes you and your families a joyous, peaceful, and relaxing Fourth of July holiday. Please be safe and celebrate responsibly. As we gather with friends and family to make memories and celebrate Independence Day, July 4th, let us take a moment to remember our Founding Fathers. These fifty-six brave men put pen to paper and declared the independence of thirteen colonies on July 4, 1776. In a hot, musty hall in Philadelphia, they wrote, “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” These were not ordinary men. They were men of substance and position, wealthy estate owners, statesmen, businessmen, and scholars. They were the A-listers of their day, and they had much to lose. By signing the Declaration of Independence, they committed treason against their homeland and the British king, a crime punishable by death. Therefore, when they pledged “their Lives, Fortunes, and sacred Honor,” their oath was to be taken literally. Of the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence, five were captured by the British and tortured to death. Four were imprisoned until the British surrendered. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured. Nine of the fifty-six fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War. Almost all lost their properties and fortunes. Paul Harvey once said, “They risked it all because they learned liberty is so much more important than security.” How many of us could sign our name to a document knowing it could result in our own death? Had American Patriots lost the Revolutionary War, a war all reason suggested they should lose, many of our great Founding Fathers could have met their end on British gallows. Our founding generation’s sacrifice, fortitude, and “firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence” prevented this from happening. We hope you have a wonderful Fourth of July filled with reflection, gratitude, and celebration. Experience the UFS difference. Visit UFS at https://lnkd.in/geUWXb-c #UniversalFluidServices

UFS Salutes Oilfield Fathers This upcoming Sunday, June 16, Americans celebrate Father’s Day, a day set aside to recognize that while almost any man can sire a child, it takes a special man to be a father. "Being a dad isn’t easy…but when somebody does it right, it reminds the rest of us what a world-changing difference a good dad can make." —Andrew Blackburn Being an oilfield dad is especially challenging. You leave home when you don’t want to, work for days, sometimes weeks, without seeing your family, and long to read your children bedtime stories and tuck them into bed at night. You miss Little League games and dance recitals, first walks and camp-outs. You aren’t there to help your spouse rock a crying baby at three in the morning or when they are in tears from exhaustion. And, it breaks your heart. But you are an oilfield dad – for them. When you are home, you give your family every ounce of your energy, and then some. You listen to your children and show them what it means to be strong and considerate. You guide them, discipline them, and gently counsel them. When you are home, you give your spouse support, strength, and unconditional love. In short, you are a man and a father to your family, and they love you for it. The UFS family salutes oilfield fathers and their oilfield families. You exemplify everything good and righteous that a man and a father can be for his family. Thank you. We ask you to consider Universal Fluid Services (UFS) for your next drilling project. Let us show you the Application Excellence difference.
