AES Drilling Fluids

We want to thank our listeners, guests, and team for their support for another successful year of The Flowline! The holidays are in full swing, and we want to give a special shout-out to all the field personnel making sacrifices over the holidays to keep the world spinning.

There’s the price of something, and then there’s the actual cost. What are factors that help determine the total cost of a drilling fluid solution relative to overall drilling costs?

High fluid loss squeezes are used when loss rates are at their worst. We discuss a field application of a new squeeze with special guests Richard Toomes and Jordan Benge, who were instrumental in the design and execution of successful treatment.

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?
