FIELD PROBLEM SOLVING

Drilling Fluid Solutions

Problem-led technical guides that connect drilling symptoms to the fluid-system variables that should be checked before a product is selected.

HDD Fluid Programme

Build the product basket from ground conditions, bore geometry, water and recycling requirements.

 Torque & Drag

Diagnose friction, solids, hole cleaning and borehole conditions before selecting a lubricant.

 Lost Circulation

Match swelling, fibrous and bridging materials to the loss mechanism and circulation system.

 Fractured Formations

Position LCM size, shape and mechanism against fractures, vugs and permeable intervals.

 Reactive Clay / HDD

Control swelling, dispersion, accretion, bit balling and sticky cuttings in reactive ground.

 Air & Foam Drilling

Select foaming chemistry from air rate, water chemistry, solids and cuttings-transport needs.

 Polymer Fluid Programmes

Compare powder and liquid polymer roles in HDD, water-well and compatible WBM systems.

Start with the field symptom

Mudolog recommendations are based on the drilling method, formation, make-up water, current mud formulation and the operational symptom. Product selection is more reliable when the underlying cause is separated from a simple product-name search.
