Electrophoresis techniques allow for separation and reuse in a number of industrial and biomedical processes. What can they do for drilling fluids?

Normally, when a chemical reaction occurs with drilling fluid, there is probably a lot of work required to get the mud back into shape. Are there situations and additives where we can use chemical reactions to our advantage?

Gas hydrates present a number of challenges in drilling, completion, and production operations. What causes them and what prevents them from forming?

What are our options when we need to change the mud weight while drilling? Is one solution better than another? Can solids control do all the work? Justin and Matt discuss options and selection factors to adjust drilling fluid density.
