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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

The 400 pump is used in all phases of oilfield operation to pump water, cement, fracturing fluids, and other stimulation fluids. The three main parts of pump are (1)the power end, (2)the spacer, and (3)the fluid end Power EndThe power-end assembly reduces speed, multiplies torque, and changes rotary action into reciprocating action. It takes energy […]
