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 […]

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?

What makes a high performance water based mud so high

performance? What are drillers doing with all that performance? We’ll talk

about the chemistry elements and applications.
