More about us

We are headquartered in Aberdeen, Scotland and operate globally, with sales offices and stock points strategically located around the world. Since 1999, we’ve supplied many of the largest oil and gas companies with cesium formate fluids for their most challenging drilling, completion, intervention and workover operations. No other company matches our experience, expertise and pure dedication to formate fluids. The Sinomine Specialty Fluids team of field engineers is waiting to assist operations anywhere in the world and well-equipped laboratories in Aberdeen and Bergen provide customised fluid formulations, fluid analyses, troubleshooting and technical advice. As the leading supplier of cesium formate fluids and the global authority on formate brines, we have built up a wealth of knowledge and expertise in this specialist area from more than 20 years in the industry.

We believe in ‘performance through simplicity’. We don’t like to over-complicate matters, which is good, because we don’t need to. Cesium formate is unique. No other base brine has such a mix of operation-enhancing qualities, which means additives are significantly reduced or cut altogether. It means that our fluids are truly multi-functional, providing operators with the flexibility to drill and complete in exactly the same fluid, or to use cesium formate for a wide range of other applications.
