    Drilling Muds - Design, Optimisation and Maintenance

    Presenter: Sheik Rahman


    Overview
    A self-paced course designed for individuals seeking in depth knowledge of water and oil based muds (low toxic to non-toxic) and completion fluids, testing procedure, product system formulation calculation of pressure losses in pipes and annuli and bit nozzle optimisation. The theory is combined with 'hands-on' problem solving using local case studies and API mud tests using a mobile mud lab. Provide the participants with: Knowledge of designing appropriate programming of drilling and completion fluids for different hole sections and pay zones. Training and skill to formulate different mud systems and maintain and control desired mud properties. Knowledge of mud related hole problems and formulation of appropriate mud system to control these problems. Ability to conduct API mud tests. Ability to diagnose and prevent mud related hole problems during drilling. Knowledge of how to treat drilling muds to control drill pipe and casing corrosion. Knowledge of how to control mud solids.

    Contents
    Introduction to drilling, completion and workover fluids, composition and related properties of different mud chemicals: clays, polymers, weighting materials, lost circulation and fluid loss additives, shale inhibition chemicals, lubricating materials and corrosion additives. Note: an emphasis is also made on polymer chemistry and the application and limitation of polymers in drilling muds Oil based muds: Composition and properties of oil based muds, application of oil based fluids in drilling through shales and completing wells with particular emphasis on horizontal wells. Designing appropriate mud programs for different hole sections and pay zones: calculation of mud density based on pore pressure data and hole volumes; selection of mud chemicals and formulation of drilling muds with appropriate rheology (plastic viscosity, gel strength and yield point) and water loss properties for different hole sections. Hands-on-training on measurements of API mud properties: Alkalinity, calcimetry, hardness, solid content, pH, rheology (apparent viscosity, plastic viscosity, gel strength and yield point), water loss and mud density. Formulation of mud systems for special hole conditions: sloughing of holes, shale inhibitive muds, lost circulation, excessive torque and stuck pipe, weighted mud for high pressure wells, low solid polymer mud, high temperature and salt tolerant mud and non-damaging completion fluids (both solid containing and solid free muds), low toxic and non toxic muds, glycol muds etc.
