The use of drilling fluids as follows:
- Remove cuttings from well
- Suspend and release cuttings
- Control formation pressures
- Seal permeable formations
- Maintain wellbore stability
- Minimize formation damage
- Cool, lubricate, and support the bit and drilling assembly
- Transmit hydraulic energy to tools and bit
- Ensure adequate formation evaluation
- Control corrosion
- Facilitate cementing and completion
- Minimize impact on environment

What happens to the weight of the drilling fluid when it gets a gas cut in it?
It goes up
Why are polymers added to drilling fluid?
polymers add consistency or thickness to fluids. Because a number of additives can improve the filter cake such as bentonite, natural & synthetic polymer, asphalt and gilsonite.
Medical use of BaSO4?
Barium sulphate is not a solution but an insoluble precipitate. Applications: - catalyst support - gravimetric analysis - pyrotechnic materials - radio contrast compound - pigment - component of oil drilling fluid - plastics filler, etc.
What parts of the Chinese drilling process do the glass of water THE straw and the empty glass represent?
drilling
How much does drilling mud weigh?
Drilling mud can weight out at different ranges from 7.6 to 18.0 obm
What is continuous phase of drilling fluid?
sometimes when we are drilling we need to use drilling fluid which are mixture of two phase like oil and gas or water and oil. In such case the fluid which is running outside is known as continuous phase of drilling fluid.
What foam of advantage and disadvantage of flowing drilling fluid?
There is no advantage with foam in drilling fluid. When drilling fluid is foaming, it's not cooling or lubricating.
Is drilling mud a chemical?
Yes, it is. Drilling fluids, the circulating fluid for drilling operations, is a mixture of the fluid, the solid and chemical agents. It is usually known as the "mud" or the "blood of drilling" deriving from its distinctive significance.
Why use drilling mud for oil drilling?
It's used to prevent anything coming back up the hole. Drilling fluids, the circulating fluid for drilling operations, is a mixture of the fluid, the solid and chemical agents. It is usually known as the "mud" or the "blood of drilling" deriving from its distinctive significance. The main functions of drilling fluids include providing hydrostatic pressure to prevent formation fluids from entering into the well bore, keeping the drill bit cool and clean during drilling, carrying out drill cuttings, and suspending the drill cuttings while drilling is paused and when the drilling assembly is brought in and out of the hole. The drilling fluid used for a particular job is selected to avoid formation damage and to limit corrosion.
What type of fluids does drilling fluid belong to?
lubricant
What has the author Jerome A Rehberg written?
Jerome A. Rehberg has written: 'An engineering study of the use of air as a drilling fluid in the Appalachin area'
What is the function of drilling mud fluid?
THE DRILLING MUD FLUID IS HAVE MANY FUNCTION IN OIL WELL DRILLING LIKE (a) to lift the cutting, (b) to give cooling effect of bit (c) control the wellbore pressure (d) act as a lubricater (e) hole stabilizer etc. The main functions of drilling fluids include providing hydrostatic pressure to prevent formation fluids from entering into the well bore, keeping the drill bit cool and clean during drilling, carrying out drill cuttings, and suspending the drill cuttings while drilling is paused and when the drilling assembly is brought in and out of the hole. The drilling fluid used for a particular job is selected to avoid formation damage and to limit corrosion.
What is the difference between the Plastic Viscosity and Viscosity of a drilling fluid?
Both are same
What happens to the weight of the drilling fluid when it gets a gas cut in it?
It goes up
Fluid flow in an annular space?
Fluid flow in an annular space occurs during a drilling operation of the gas and oil well. The correct prediction of the flow lies in the drilling mud in the annular space between the well.
What is hydrostatic pressure used for drilling oil wells?
In Drilling terminology, hydrostatic pressure is "The pressure exerted on a column of fluid at rest". This said, an oil well is just a column of fluid. Hydrostatic pressure is used to control the formation pressure in a well in order to prevent a "kick" (an influx of fluid into the well bore) or a blow-out (an uncontrolled influx of fluid into the well bore). Hydrostatic Pressure is calculated by a simple calculation = depth in meters x weight of drilling fluid in kg/m3 x gravity constant of 0.00981. IE. drilling at a depth of 3459m with drilling fluid that weighs 1120 kg/m3 would give you a Hydrostatic pressure of 38005 kpa. This is the amount of pressure that is being exerted on the formation at 3459m
What is the difference between the Plastic Viscosity and Apparent Viscosity of a drilling fluid.?
Both are same
