A comprehensive list covering mud, cement, gravel pack and stimulation materials has been
prepared.

The list shows SAMS stock numbers, equivalent SAP numbers, product description, product
application and products equivalent trade names. It is so easy to access and search.

This list is now available on the Drilling Information Highway and can be accessed by following
the step-by step procedure, given below:

1. Go to Drilling Information Highway (DIH).

2. Click “Engineering Data”.
3. From drop-down list, click “Engineering Data Page”.
4. Click “Mud, Cement, Gravel Pack & Stimulation Materials”.

To search for any material, just click on the material name under “Table of Content” (at the left
side of the screen). The system will take you to the corresponding page, directly. To find out
what material is under each heading, click on the + sign located at the left side of the material
heading.
Example:
* Click on the + sign located at the left side of “LOSS CIRCULATION MATERIALS”
* A drop down list will appear with all the LCM items.
* Click one time on the item of interest and the system will take you to that item, directly.

We hope that the information provided will be useful to all drilling personnel.

Please forward your suggestions or any information you think should be included in the list to
Alex Hanna, Tel. 862-8258, E-mail: iskander.hanna@aramco.com. The list will be updated as
new information become available.
