  • What is PHPA mud system?
  • SPE Drill Eng 7 (03): 191–199. Mud systems with partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide polymer (PHPA) are used worldwide and have proved effective and versatile for inhibiting troublesome shale formations. We made significant changes in the generally recommended compositions for these systems and developed a systematic approach to applying them.
  • How does PHPA mud control shale?
  • For shale-control, PHPA can supposedly seal microfractures, coat shale surfaces with a film that retards dispersion and disintegration. The viscosifying effect of the dissolved high molecular weight polyacrylamide polymer controls the rheological behavior of the PHPA mud.
  • Can you drill cement with PHPA mud?
  • Do not drill cement with PHPA muds, unless the system will be replaced after drilling out, because PHPA muds are sensitive to high pH, especially in the presence of high calcium levels. If drilling cement with a PHPA system is unavoidable, pretreat the system with 0.251bmlbbl [0.7 kg/m3] sodium bicarbonate.
  • How has PHPA mud changed the drilling process?
  • In wells drilled with PHPA mud, the number of bits was reduced from seven to two, rotating hours were reduced from 128 to 58, drilling progress was increased from 254 to 499 ftlD [77 to 152 mId], and total days were reduced from 12 to 6.
