EDC synthetic base oils for Drilling

Our Environmental Drilling Compounds (EDC) offer dependable performance even in the harshest environments. The products we’ve developed for the oil and gas industries combine TotalEnergies' vast experience in the field with feedback received from operators we work with in over 40 countries around the globe.

Two main goals have driven the development of our EDC range – firstly to protect the environment where drilling occurs, and secondly to ensure the safety of operators. Our EDC products cover both offshore and onshore drilling.

Used for both onshore and offshore drilling projects, our EDC products are recognised for their high quality and performance in some of the most difficult conditions on the planet. Their benefits cover both the environment, and the health and safety of workers on site.
