Drilling Fluids Engineering Laboratory

Drilling is the main key for the success of well production. Therefore, we have to draw an efficient program regarding the type of mud as well as the predicted lithology and the different drilling phases scheduled. Consequently, achievement of drilling fluid properties, under various conditions, are accurately measured in this laboratory includes physical and chemical parameters, such as, drilling fluid density, pH, resistivity, sand content, rheology, API filtration, HT-HP filtration, lubricity, and Bentonite quality evaluation.  This laboratory is equipped with apparatuses to determine drilling fluid properties at atmospheric and high pressure high temperature conditions by direct measurements. These properties include rheological, filtration, density, thermal stability, lubricity, resistivity, pH, etc.
