A drilling fluids engineer manages the design, testing, treatment, and performance of drilling and completion fluids at the rig site to maintain wellbore stability, ensure hole cleaning, control ...

Drilling fluid, commonly referred to as “drilling mud,” is a specialized liquid or gas mixture that is pumped into a wellbore ...

Scope: water-based/oil-based/synthetic systems, rheology, solids control, hydraulics, contamination, testing, product programs, daily reporting. Time/Cost: 2–6 ...

Researchers at Curtin University have developed new technology for the rapid cleaning and re-use of drilling fluids, paving the way toward more efficient and environmentally-friendly mineral ...

A nonaqueous drilling fluid system engineered with a low-viscosity synthetic internal olefin base resolved operational problems in drilling tight gas wells in the Basin Center area in Western Canada.

The oil and gas industry operates in some of the most extreme and unpredictable environments on the planet. In High-Pressure, High-Temperature (HPHT) wells, temperatures can exceed 300°F and pressures ...

Rig-site fluid test automation has lagged automated drilling technology and is now a bottleneck to real-time drilling diagnostics and decisions. A new automated mud skid (AMS) addresses this gap by ...
