drilling fluid

This research aims to develop a fluid-advisory system that provides recommendations for optimal amounts of chemical additives needed to maintain desired fluid properties in various drilling-fluid systems.

This paper describes development of a high-temperature water-based reservoir drill-in fluid using a novel synthetic polymer and customized with optimal chemical concentrations and sized calcium carbonate.

In this case study, a geomechanics-based approach was used to create bridging and sealing at the fracture aperture using a biparticle self-degradable lost-circulation-fluid system.

Traditionally, the drilling industry has relied on high-fidelity thermal simulators to predict downhole temperature for different operational scenarios. Though accurate, these models are too slow for real-time applications. To overcome this limitation, a deep-learning solution is proposed that enables fast, accurate prediction of downhole temperatures under a wide ran…
