Reservoir drill-in fluids are fairly special systems used to minimize formation damage. Matt and Justin review when a reservoir drill-in fluid is used, how they are designed, and how they are run in the field.

In this episode we discuss the true meaning of wellbore strengthening and how we can use this type of program to help increase a well’s fracture gradient. We also go through proper planning and lab testing to determine the right products and application for a given job.

Matt and Justin review the

applications of conventional and low-clay/clay-free drilling fluids. They will

discuss the differences in the products used and how low-clay/clay-free systems

provide performance benefits in certain drilling environments.

We had a question about the difference between dispersed and non-dispersed water-based mud systems. In this episode, we will go over a brief summary of what they are and when we use them.

How do we determine the right chloride level for our invert emulsion systems? How can it relate to osmosis between the brine phase and the formation?
