Our Expertise
Intelligent Mud Solutions (IMS) is a pioneer in autonomous, sensor-based systems for real-time drilling fluid analysis.
Our patented technology continuously monitors key fluid properties such as rheology, density, temperature, gel strength, pH, and particle size distribution (PSD)—directly from the rig.
​
This eliminates the delays and risks associated with manual sampling, enabling operators to make faster, data-driven decisions.
​
By delivering high-frequency, real-time data to remote centers and rig crews alike, IMS helps reduce non-productive time, enhance wellbore stability, and support compliance with well integrity standards.
​
From deepwater rigs to onshore operations, IMS provides the fluid intelligence operators need—when they need it most.
Real-Time Decision Support
Empower Your Drilling Operations
Our real-time technologies bridge the gap between the rig site and decision-makers, empowering drilling teams with continuous, high-resolution fluid data.
Through autonomous sensor systems like RheoSense and RheoMax, critical parameters such as density, rheology, gel strength, pressure, temperature, pH, and particle size distribution are monitored and transmitted in real time.
These data streams are instantly available via cloud-based platforms like RheoView and RheoAdvise, enabling drilling engineers, mud specialists, and remote operations centres to make faster, more informed decisions. The result is improved well control, optimised fluid performance, and reduced operational risk—onshore and offshore, across all phases of the drilling process.
