Introduction to Drilling Fluids Technology
Course Description
The demands placed upon drilling fluids have increased dramatically over the last two or three decades. The drivers include reducing environmental impact, maximizing well productivity, accessing high temperature reservoirs, extended reach drilling, and deep water drilling. Course participants will learn about the fluid systems and additives developed to meet these demands, as well as basic introductions to drilling fluids, clay chemistry, and polymer chemistry. The molecular structure and functionality of various fluid additives is presented to gain an insight into how things work and how fluid formulations are designed to meet specific well parameters.
