Drilling Fluids

CST pioneered the use of epoxy coated tanks for drilling fluid applications.

Drilling Fluids

CST, through its heritage brands Columbian Steel Tank Company and Columbian TecTank, have been supplying storage tanks for drilling fluid applications for more than 100 years. CST is the ONLY API-12B monogrammed and certified manufacturer in the world. Our proprietary TricoBond EP epoxy coating system has been field proven in thousands of tanks over the past many decades. No other tank company has the oilfield experience of CST.

CST API-12B tanks continue to be the preferred choice for storage of crude oil, drilling fluids, mud, wastewater, distillates and other related applications. Now, with our new proprietary factory applied powder epoxy coating, improved gasket sealing materials and recently upgraded chime joint design you can expect even better long-term performance from our tanks. CST tanks provide many distinct advantages to the industry including:

• The Fastest Tank Installation Available
  Our tanks are installed in days when field welded can take weeks or even months. The modular bolt-together design allows for knock-down shipment and can be expanded easily or dismantled, shipped and installed at the next site.
• Proven Long-Term Performance:
  CST is the only manufacturer of API-12B stamped tanks with ISO 9001 certification. We deliver the highest level of quality with proven field performance.
• Lowest Cost Per Gallon Solution
