Knowing the SP.GR for Bentonite, diesel ,safra oil, drilled solids.
sp. Gr. Hematite 5, barite 4.2, marble 2.75, bentonite 2.4, diesel 0.84, safra oil 0.79, drilled solids
1.65 to 2.65 , water 1, galena 7.2, cacl2 1.8
2)What is the max. salinity for CaCl2.

cacl2 355000 w 86 pcf
nacl 189000 w 74.8 pcf
kcl 133000 w 72 pcf
barite 156pcf, marble fine 110 pcf, hematite 194 pcf, safra oil 52 pcf, diesel 49 pcf
3)How to keep eye on rig inventory and daily mud treatment.

By checking inventory daily and knowing consumptionof every day, for treatment make a plan for
every section and treatment plan
4)Why we are using CaCl2 not NaCl in OBM.

beccais first line defence for h2s as calcium soap and works as h2s scavenger and calcium helps for
emulsifier and lime to work
water activity of calc2 is o.4 less than nacl o.7
salinity of cacl2 is 355000 more thannacl 189000
How to perform hole cleaning .especially in deviated wells.

first factor rheology
LSYP (2*3 reading – 6 reading )>=hole size
6 reading >=(1.2 to 1.5 hole size)
hole size < 3 reading< 1.5 hole size
second factor sweep
angle more than 35 deg. Lo vis , high density more than mud weight from 15 to 30 pcf as tandem pill
lo vis high weight
mud must cover from 200 to 500 ft from the largest annular size
Talk about Centrifuge mechanism.

it cleans mud from LGS and drilled solid when operated at 2700 rpm with low gpm to get large
amount of cleaned mud and it can be operated at 1100 rpm as barite recovery and put barite back to
save mud weight
How to prove that you have differential sticking.?

when I have no rotation and full circulation and drill pipe don’t go up and down
What is LGS.?
Solids specific gravity less than 2.75 like marble fine and drilled solids
What you will do if XC-polymer is not working. ?
that’s means that ph is low so I need to increase ph by adding caustic soda & if low ca and to know
treatment make pilot test
What you will prefer if you need 65 pcf mud (all oil mud or invert emulsion)?
invert emulsion bec the water phase will give me weight from 60 to 63 so I will need a little amount
of weighting material but if oil it will give me weight 52 so I will need large quantity of weighting
material so this will increase the solids and cost
What is the filtrate in HPHT in OBM

filtrate must be all oil if there is water so I have emulsion problem
What if u have separation between water and oil IN OBM.

that’s means I have problem in emulsion so I must check electrical stability and make pilot test to
know the dose for adding emulsifier and lime ( lime to help emulsifier to work)
What is the internal and external phase in OBM.?

Internal phase water, external phase oil
What is the max.weight of Na+ formate mud.?

82pcf
What is the max.weight of K+ formate mud.?

98pcf
Why we don’t apply retort in Formatemud.?

Bec. It have high expansion so it will explode the retort due to high evaporation and plug the
condenser and all mud will condensate due to very low ratio solids in formate mud
What will do if PH of formate mud is low.?

buffering material soda ash and sodium bi carbonate
PPT reading evaluation.?

plug permeability test reading should not exceed 0.5 cubic centimeter if more that’s means I have bad
bridging material and fluid loss. This test is applied under high pressure and temp as client want and I
must notice if there is a big change in pressure and temp and it contains ceramic disk act as formation
Knowing about Hydro guard and Max bridge mud systems.?

hydro guard is job made by haliburton , max bridge job made by baker hughes this job made when
there is high overbalance so they make a wide distrubtion of sizes of bridging materials and also
when partial loss
Osmosis effect from shale to mud to avoid swelling. ?
Osmosis effect is opposite to pressure, where pressure go from high to low , osmosis is salinity go
from low to high for ex. Shale when mud have high salinity more than shale salinity mud absorb
water inside shale so it make hole washout which make to lose the direction of pipe while running
in hole and when mud salinity is too low shale swell free water in the mud so shale swelling is
problem make stuck
How to weight up 90 pcf mud to 110 pcf mud with rough figure (without equation).?
9 to 10lb/bbl barite increase mud weight 1 pcf
11lb/bbl marble fine increase mud weight 1 pcf
Ppt test, how to run…….. Plug permeability Test

Fill mud in cylinder and apply desired pressure and temp. (max. pressure 3000 psi ) and put ceramic
disk and wait for 30 min then the filtrate must not exceed 0.5 cc
Maxshild, Haydrogaurd……why they are using all these chemicals?

bec. Of wide distribution of sizes of LCM to cover most of the possible formation pores
Do you can run the Maxshild, Haydrogaurd…… alone?

it is mixed hi vis
if in pay zone use marble fine, medium course and soluflake f/m/c
if in non reservoir use graphite, lc lube
Did you run OBM, Formate….

obm
What is your experience on Cacl2/Caco3 polymer, fluid loss…?

I have to perciptate the large amount of ca because if high ca polymer wont work with high
efficiency so use soda ash and fluid loss if ordinary starch will not work properly so I must use
modified starch bec on of its benefits ca resistance
What is poly amine.?

Shale inhibitor such as clay grabber
What is chemicals are using on pickling job.?

Used in gas wells to clean casing
for casing cleaning use cct3000D 5 drums put on water with high PH 11 and make a hi vis water pill
and pumped as head and tail
for tubing add cct8051D 5 drums put on water high ph 11 and make hi vis water pill and pumped as
head and tail
High sheer, low sheer, 6 rpm, hole cleaning. ?

LSYP : (2*3 reading – 6 reading)>= hole size
6 reading must be >=1.2 to 1.5 hole size
Do you have mud course, what is benefit for that.?
Shale Inhibition Materials.?

KCL, soltex, gelsonit, black furry, black knight
 Type and receipt of Stuck pipe, and how to prevent Differential Stuck. ?
Differntial stuck to prevent must have good bridging to avoid sealing of filtrate to formation and
keep mud weight as required by using grease pill(water,oil(pipe lax or EZ spot)or lubricant
pill(mud,lube) difference between too high hydrostatic pressure to formation pressure
no good bridging and thick filter cake due to filtrate that’s means bad fluid loss reducer
Hole Cleaning. ?
mud rheology parameter
angle less than 35 deg. Hi vis (1.5 to 2 * funnel viscosity)
angle more than 35 deg. Lo vis , high density more than mud weight from 15 to 30 pcf as tandem pill
lo vis high weight
LSYP (2*3 reading – 6 reading )>hole size
6 reading > (1.2 to 1.5 hole size)
hole size < 3 reading< 1.5 reading
mud must cover from 200 to 500 ft from the largest annular size
drilling parameter
flow rate 12.25 in 900 to 1100 gpm
8.5 in 450 to 600 gpm
6 in 200 to 300 gpm
drill pipe rotation 12.25 in 120 to 150 rpm
8.5, 6 in 80 to 150 rpm
Pm ,Pf ,Mf tests.

Pm phenol phethaline mud
1 ml mud + 50 ml distilled water + ph.ph as indicator to give pink
then titrate with h2so4 n/50 normality till get colourless
pm= h2so4 ml/ ml of mud
pf phenol phethaline filtrate
1ml filtrate + ph.ph indicator to give pink
then titrate h2so4 n/50 till get colourless
pf = h2so4 ml /ml of filtrate
mf methyle orange filtrate
then on same solution put methyle orange to get yellow
titrate h2so4 n/50 to get colourless
mf= pf+h2so4 ml
Chemicals used in drilling CMT.

If in obm I wont need bec. Cement gives me calcium so its useful in obm for emulsion to work and
defense line for h2s
wbm use sodium bicarbonate and citric acid it is preferred to try to decrease dose of citric acid bec
while circulation it works so it will decrease ph more than I want
What you do to increase Gel & YP.?

use viscosifier in wbm xc polymer and bentonite , obm VG69 while adding use small hose of water
(organophilic clay) also use RM63 for reading 6,3
How to mix OBM.
1)diesel or safra oil
2)primary emulsifier(invermul,versamul) ½ hr (4-5 gal/bbl)
3)fluid loss reducer (versaliq, carbotrol, duraton) (6-8 lb/bbl)
4)lime wait 1 to 2 hr to agigtate (6-8 lb/bbl)
5)viscosifier (VG69, gelatone) (4-6 lb/bbl)
6)brine (first mix in separate tank water and cacl2 then transfer to obm tank slowly )}
7)secondary emulsifier(versa coat,EZmul , drill canes) (1-2 gal/bbl)
(drill canes work as wetting agent and thinner and it make distribution and circulation for chemicals)
(it is preferred to put half the dose before mixing brine and other half after adding brine) transfer
slowly with gun line or air pump
8)weighting material(barite in non reservoir, marble fine reservoir)
How to optimize 3 & 6 readings in OBM.?

by using viscosifier or use RM63 and it increases the reading 6, 3 only
How to Calibrate PH meter.?

by using buffer solution 4 blue, 7 pink , 10 red
Formate Mud.
LCM.
1)non reservoir use non acid soluble materials (mica fine medium or coarse, graphite (barofibre,
.baracarb,steel seal), nut plug..)
2)reservoir acid soluble(marble fine,medium,coarse)soluflake f/m/c, n-seal
LCM pill concentration 200 lb/bbl and preferred to contain all sizes of chemicals to make sure of
good bridging, if there is MWD/DD must use concentration no more than 40 lb/bblto avoid plugging
tools or if using drill bit with motor. If there is pbl sub can use high concentrations also increase
viscosity to make sure the pill is able to carry LCM chemicals( pump screen, bit nozzles, conc.)
Bit Balling
it happen due to electrochemical attraction forces between clay and metal to know I have bit balling
where ROP decreses fast so I have to control bentonite by Methyle blue test. To solve this problem
caustic pill (water and caustic soda) 5 lb/bbl or Nut plug pill 5 lb/bbl or condet pill 5 lb/bbl and
sometimes I have to POOH to remove it manually. (prevent by adding chemical on system (penetrix
and drill zone)
