Inquiries from oil companies located in Brunei, China, Indonesia, Vietnam and other countries developing new oil fields have increased with the successful use of cesium formate brines in high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) well construction in other parts of the world. "Cesium formate has been proven to be the most effective completion solution for HPHT wells," said James Turner, vice president and general manager, Cabot Specialty Fluids business.

We look forward to helping oil companies in China, the Asia Pacific region and Australia develop and expand their oil and gas production capabilities."
