Gilsonite is a natural hydrocarbon resin found in Utah that has been used in ink production for over a century. Its unique properties make it suitable for improving flow properties, viscosity, and color intensity of black ink. While it is still used in ink formulations today, its usage has declined due to the emergence of alternative resins in the ink industry.

The addition of Gilsonite, a natural bitumen modifier, can improve the performance of asphalt mixtures. Gilsonite can enhance the durability and resistance of asphalt to various flaws, such as cracking and moisture damage. Incorporating Gilsonite into asphalt mixtures is a cost-effective and sustainable way to extend the service life of roads and highways.

Solution To Leaky Wellbores means deploying gilsonite-rich cement to seal micro-annuli, cut sustained casing pressure, and restore zonal isolation. Our approach blends hydrocarbon-affinity sealing with particle bridging to reduce porosity and gas permeability after exposure. Designed within API/NORSOK/ISO barrier frameworks, it delivers stable density without large water extension and maintains strength at realistic BHST. We outline dosage windows (2.5–7.5% BWOC), particle-size strategies, lab qualification (FTIR/TGA, permeability, SEM), and field verification via bond logs and SCP decay. This practical roadmap helps operators fix leaky wells faster, lower emissions, and extend well life—using a proven, service-ready additive system offered by us.
