Deep Drilling Chemicals Ltd. (DDC) has, since 2009, been engaging in hot water and oil drilling activities as both a producer and supplier. Back in 2009, our company was operating under the name Samsa Company (SMS) registered in Northern Iraq. We changed our company name in early 2010 to Deep Drilling Chemicals Ltd. (DDC). We have still been maintaining our domestic and overseas activities under the name DDC Ltd.
Our company supplies all kinds of drilling additives and chemicals to all of its domestic and international customers. It was in 2011 when DDC started to play an active role not only in product supply but also in production stages in order to develop and manufacture products to meet the needs of the sector.
The same year saw the production of polyanionic cellulose (PAC) in accordance with API standards - which was a first in Turkey. This product was followed by carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and its derivatives.
In late 2011 our Mardin factory entered into service to grind hazelnut/walnut shells, which avoid leaks in drilling activities.
In 2012 we made a dealership agreement with Dead Sea Works, which is one of the biggest chloride factories in the world. This agreement gave us the right to sell in Turkish and Middle Eastern markets the company’s potassium chloride product, which is used as a density controller and shale stabilizer in drilling activities.
In early 2016, our Nevşehir factory with a grinding capacity of 40,000 metric ton / year entered into service. This factory produces drilling barytes at API standards in addition to producing calcium carbonate, a weighting agent used in drilling activities, in fine, medium, coarse, and ultra coarse forms.
Our main markets are Northern Iraq, Southern Iraq, and Northern Africa in particular and Turkey locally.
