Types of Reservoir Fluids Reservoir fluids are classified based on their composition, phase behavior, and physical properties. The primary types include: 1. Black Oil – A high-viscosity crude oil with dissolved gas that separates under lower pressures. 2. Volatile Oil – A lighter crude oil with a higher gas-to-oil ratio (GOR) and significant gas liberation […]

Working Principle of a Centrifugal Pump
A centrifugal pump is a device that uses rotational energy to move fluids through a piping system. The energy is supplied by an electric motor, diesel engine, or turbine. How It Works: 1.Fluid Entry (Suction): Fluid enters the pump through the suction inlet and flows into the impeller eye (the center of the impeller). 2.Impeller […]
Squeeze Cementing
Squeeze cementing is a critical process in the oil and gas industry. It involves injecting a cement slurry through perforations in the casing to create a seal in specific locations, effectively bridging undesired gaps. A common misconception is that the cement penetrates the pores of the rock. However, the cement slurry actually dehydrates against the […]
Cementing Calculation
Cementing Calculation Cementing: The Unsung Hero of Oil & Gas Production Cementing might not be the most glamorous aspect of oil and gas drilling, but it’s undeniably crucial. What is it? Cementing involves injecting specialized cement slurries into the wellbore to:Isolate zones: Prevent unwanted fluid flow between different formations.Support the casing: Provide structural integrity and […]
What is Oil Based Mud
Oil-based mud is a drilling fluid used in drilling engineering. It is composed of oil as the continuous phase and water as the dispersed phase in conjunction with emulsifiers, wetting agents and gellants. The oil base can be diesel, kerosene, fuel oil, selected crude oil or mineral oil. The requirements are a gravity of 36–37 […]
What Are Drilling Fluids, Types, Composition And Uses
Drilling fluids, also known as drilling muds, play a crucial role in the oil and gas exploration process. These specialized fluids serve multiple purposes, including cooling and lubricating the drill bit, carrying rock cuttings to the surface, and maintaining wellbore stability. In this blog post, we’ll delve into drilling fluids, exploring their types, composition, and […]
What is Water-Based Mud?
Water-based mud is a drilling fluid where water is the primary continuous phase. It is a suspension of water, clay, and other chemical additives designed to meet specific operational requirements. WBMs are tailored to ensure wellbore stability, lubricate the drill bit, and carry drilled cuttings to the surface. Composition of Water-Based Mud The composition of […]
Hydril K20-7500 Pulsation Dampener Operation Manual
The Hydril K20-7500 Pulsation Dampener should be mounted in the vertical position (refer to Figure 1-1 for mounting options) with the mating flange connection at the bottom. The standard bottom connection for a K20-7500 is 4 1/16” 10,000 PSI (690 Bar). The discharge dampener should be mounted as close as possible to the discharge port […]
Drilling Mud
Drilling mud is used to lubricate the drill bit and transport drill cuttings to the surface. Drill cuttings are broken bits of solid material that are produced as the drill bit breaks the rock. As it circulates up from the drill bit, the drilling mud carries drill cuttings up to the surface, where the mud […]
