AES Drilling Fluids

pH and alkalinity share similarities, but have differences worth defining. So, tune into this episode of The Flowline as Justin and Matt run through the distinctions as they relate to water-based muds. 

You're drilling with a finely dispersed mud and then you take a flow. It's time to swap systems. Tune in to this episode of The Flowline as Matt and Justin run through this scenario and things to think about when drilling doesn't go according to plan.

Every once in a while, someone asks "Can I break this polymer mud and reuse the brine?". Tune in to this episode of The Flowline as Justin and Matt break down why this process is so complicated, especially in xanthan-based systems.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Diesel is a common drilling fluid additive, but there is not just one kind of diesel. This has implications for drilling fluid properties. Tune in to this episode of The Flowline Justin and Matt discuss these variances and what to do about them to keep drilling ahead.

Drilling fluids continue to evolve, but where did they originate? How have they evolved with drilling technology? Tune into this episode of The Flowline as Matt and Justin walk through some key moments and technologies that got us to where we are today. 

The discussions around LCM are constantly evolving, and The Flowline is here to provide updated information!

As Thanksgiving approaches, we at The Flowline would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our listeners. We hope that you have many things to be thankful for, just as we do. Tune in to this special episode of The Flowline as our hosts, Matt Offenbacher and Justin Gauthier, share their gratitude for this year. 

Drilling efficiencies have made big strides over the years. This raises the question, how might this advancement impact drilling fluids? Tune in to this episode of The Flowline as Matt and Justin delve into this question and more on drilling efficiencies!

Let's be honest, it's not often that somebody comes to the table asking, "Hey, why don't we just add diesel?" Diesel as a lubricant comes with its own set of rules and regulations, so tune in to this episode of The Flowline as Matt and Justin delve into the applications of diesel!
