Pars Drilling Fluids

Pars Drilling Fluids (PDF) is one of the first knowledge-based companies in Iran’s drilling fluids industry, founded in 2002 with a mission to lead technical excellence and service innovation in oilfield operations. With over two decades of experience, we’ve grown to become a trusted partner in some of the region’s most complex offshore and onshore drilling projects.

Words of the Founder

Pars Drilling Fluids (PDF) was established in 2002 as a private drilling fluids service company. Our organization is currently registered as an ‘Industrial Knowledge-Based’ company in Iran. We are proud to announce that our laboratory is ISO/IEC 17025:2005 certified, which demonstrates our focus on quality assurance, technical capabilities, and services. Our primary intent and vision are to act as a service company to provide Total Fluids Management.

To be a service provider, PDF has adopted a service analogy in terms of emphasizing continuous R&D, setting ties with technically capable companies, connecting the industry to academic institutions, and setting benchmarks for optimizing performance. Service is the cornerstone of our organization; our clients’ challenges are our challenges, we provide viable solutions and recommendations, and we do not believe in a short-term profit strategy.
