Drilled solids in a drilling fluid can, and usually do, cause many problems while drilling wells. Drilling fluids containing excessive drilled solids increase trouble costs or Visible Non-Productive ...

At-a-Glance: Offshore drilling mud recycling is a closed-loop solids-control and fluid-conditioning workflow that removes drilled solids, recovers base fluid, and restores mud properties before ...

I.1 Purpose: Mud engineering during drilling designs, builds, monitors, and continuously optimizes the drilling fluid to enable safe, efficient hole-making, wellbore stability, pressure control, ...

Rig-site fluid test automation has lagged automated drilling technology and is now a bottleneck to real-time drilling diagnostics and decisions. A new automated mud skid (AMS) addresses this gap by ...
