Standard drilling fluid check for both Oil-base and Water-base fluids following API 13B standards
Particle Size is a critical property to any drilling fluid as this property has an influence on rheology, density, and plugging capabilities. This test can evaluate the effectiveness of bridging materials primarily in drill-in fluids and completion fluids.
Drilling fluids can encounter monovalent and divalent ions while drilling that can cause adverse effects to the overall fluid properties and drilling operation. We can test the most common fluid contamination such as salt, cement, CO2/H2S, and gypsum. Aside from the most common chemical contaminations, our laboratory can evaluate solids contamination in all types of drilling fluid.
The lubricity property in a drilling fluid plays a critical role while drilling especially in deviated wellbore designs. Utilizing a Lubricity Tester, we can evaluate the coefficient of friction of the drilling fluid to ensure optimal lubricant percentage without compromising other physical properties.
Anti-Accretion chemicals are added to Water-based drilling fluids to reduce cuttings sticking to parts of the BHA and accumulating causing drilling issues. Shale Compatibility can be performed with any Water-based fluid to ensure the system is suitable for the formation being drilled.
Our laboratories are equipped with a Bulk Hardness Tester to evaluate the hardness of shale after being exposed to fluids. This evaluation can be related to the inhibitive properties of the fluid being evaluated.
Whether you want to introduce a new product to your drilling fluid or re-design a fluid, we can conduct pilot tests to evaluate compatibility.
The industry’s only true dynamic filtration system to measure filtration properties of drilling fluids. This test can be conducted under high pressure and high temperature to accurately simulate downhole conditions and utilizes ceramic filter cores with varying microns to simulate formation.
Corrosion monitoring can be evaluated to measure the corrosiveness of a drilling fluid and the type of corrosion encountered in a drilling operation. With proper testing, corrosion rate can be significantly reduced with the addition of a corrosion inhibitor.
The flash point of any base fluid in an oil- or synthetic- based drilling fluid should be evaluated to determine at what temperature an explosion hazard exits.
The PPA test is designed to evaluate how a drilling fluid can form a permeable filter cake to seal off depleted/under pressure intervals. With the use of bridging materials, this test is designed to accurately measure down-hole static filtration of a drilling fluid.
With simplicity and accuracy in mind, the Wet Sieve test is designed to determine particle size analysis in your drilling fluid. Whether you want to calculate LCM concentration or want to sieve out larger solids, the Wet Sieve test can be performed.
