Qualitative analysis of Drilling Fluid Chemicals jointly collected by OIL Chemist & Mud
Engineers from M/s Petropath. The Chemicals were tested in the Chemical laboratory as per OIL's
specifications. From the test results, it can be seen that the samples do not conform to OIL's
Specification in all aspects.

The test results are appended herewith for your kind perusal.

Sl.No Chemical Specilication t€st as per OIL

I PAC SL Does Not Pass the test

2. XC Polymer Docs Ngt Pass thc test
