This article demonstrates how to select material that will be suitable for high pressure, high pressure and corrosive environment. The material chart is based on the Sumitomo tubular chart.
Well conditions are as follows;
Reservoir: High pressure & high temperature gas reservoir
Reservoir Temperature: 420 F (216 C)
CO2 content: 2.9% mol
H2S:40 ppm
Chloride Ion Content in Produced Water: 150,000 ppm
Fluid saturation pressure: 10,000 psig Continue reading
Fluid loss is one of important drilling fluid properties and two type of fluid loss are API and HTHP fluid loss. This article will explain about both of them and effect on the drilling operation.
API Fluid Loss Test (low-pressure, low-temperature filtration test) is a test used to measure a filtration of mud with ambient temperature and 100 psi differential pressure. The API fluid loss testing equipment is shown below (Figure 1).

How will the drilling mud be tested?
