Computer Analysis of Drilling Fluids

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1980
ABSTRACT 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.

Optimal Synthesis, Characterization, and Performance Evaluation of High-Pressure High-Temperature Polymer-Based Drilling Fluid: The Effect of Viscoelasticity on Cutting Transport, Filtration Loss, and Lubricity

, 2020
Viscoelasticity plays a significant role in improving the performance of the drilling fluid by manipulating its elastic properties. An appropriate value of the first normal stress difference (N1), extensional viscosity (ηe), and relaxation time (θ ...

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, 1978
Abstract 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, 1993
ABSTRACT 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 ...

The Characterization of a Drilling Fluid Additive

Proceedings of SPE/IADC Drilling Conference, 1988
Abstract The guidelines for selection of a drilling fluid additive have changed during the past few years. No longer is performance the only criterion to characterize an additive. Demands on the drilling mud specialist to select the correct additive comes not only from drilling personnel, but also from explorationists, production ...
