Computer Analysis of Drilling Fluids
SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1980ABSTRACT A computer program has been developed which analyzes drilling fluids by using the information given on the standard API Drilling Mud Report. The program incorporates the latest drilling fluid engineering technology, coupled with years of field experience.

Mechanism Of Drilling Wells With Air As The Drilling Fluid [PDF]
Conference on Drilling and Rock Mechanics, 1965 Abstract A microbit apparatus has been used to study how and why field drilling rates are usually higher when air is circulated rather than liquids. Our laboratory results with air are compared with the work of others who have circulated liquids to remove cuttings, and a theory for air drilling has been developed ...

Solids Control In A Drilling Fluid
SPE Symposium on Formation Damage Control, 1978Abstract The higher costs of drilling today as well as the increased depths required are forcing operators and contractors around the world to become knowledgeable of the benefits, techniques, and equipment available to control solids effectively in a drilling fluid.

Biodegradation and Drilling Fluid Chemicals
SPE/IADC Drilling Conference, 1993ABSTRACT Biodegradability testing of drilling fluid chemicals is becoming a requirement for use in Europe, due in part to the persistence in the environment of the oils attached to discharged cuttings from oil-based drilling fluids. This paper defines some pertinent terms, presents a brief discussion of aerobic ready biodegradability ...

This section presents a limited description of drilling fluids. A complete discussion of drilling fluids (mud types, chemical treatments, solids control, water loss, and so on) is beyond the scope and intent of this manual. A more detailed discussion may be found in Section 4 of the Field Geologist’s Training Guide (MS-178).

Lost circulation means loss of drilling fluid into the formation. In this chapter, the basic functions, properties, composition, and behavior of drilling fluids are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on those properties that play important roles in lost circulation, such as the density and rheological properties (yield stress, plastic viscosity, gel strength)

Drilling Fluids for Wellbore Strengthening
Proceedings of IADC/SPE Drilling Conference, 2004Abstract There is a clear advantage to drilling if we could strengthen the wellbore and drill at higher mud weights without losing fluid. A major prize is accessing difficult reserves in depleted reservoirs. Another application is in deep water drilling where the drilling window between pore pressure and fracture gradient is often narrow.
