The size and distribution of particles in a drilling fluid can impact fluid performance. You may need big solids for bridging or wellbore strengthening. Small particles might result in poor fluid loss and progressive gels. How do we measure particle size distribution and why does it matter? Matt and Justin discuss this and more in […]

What do we put in mud to increase fluid density? In this episode, Matt and Justin dive into Weight Material 101, touching on barite and other additive options.

Organoclays, also known as Organophilic clays, are essential additives for many oil-based muds.  Organophilic clays and their function can vary widely given their application and environment. Tune in to this week’s episode to learn more!

Hydraulics are important when it comes to modeling a given fluids effect on wellbore pressures. The major goal of hydraulics optimization is to balance well control, hole cleaning, pump pressure, ECD and pressure drop across the bit. Tune in to this week's episode as Justin and Matt dive into the details!

In this episode, Matt and Justin

will take you through the different theories and techniques to make a good

quality filtercake with the right particle blend.
