9 Drilling Fluid Innovations

Tuesday, 7 March
Lysefjorden B
Technical Session
As wells become longer and deeper, temperatures and pressures higher and drilling windows start to close, innovations within drilling and completion fluids are needed to meet these challenges. Attend this session to learn more about lubricants better adapted for non-aqueous drilling fluids, a novel pilot-scale test facility for qualifying lightweight fluids, solids control testing of low-density hollow glass beads drilling fluid, and a case study about non-damaging HP/HT reservoir drilling and completion fluids.
