  • What is the technology of PHPA mud systems?
  • Although more is known from field applications about how practices, although more is known from field applications about how the products work and the systems behave, the technology of PHPA mud systems is still developing. Drilling of oil and gas wells always results in the incorporation of native clays into the mud system.
  • Can PHPA mud be used offshore?
  • In North Sea applications, PHPA muds are being used offshore The Netherlands successfully and routinely. However, poor results were obtained in offshore Norway and U.K. applications because of formation reactions, inadequate mixing and solids-control equipment, and general inexperience with water-based muds.
  • Does PHPA reduce mud viscosity?
  • The addition of 1.0 lbm/bbl [2.9 kg/m3] PHP A reduced the free water to the point that the mud viscosity was excessive. This same mud operating at 15.3lbm/gal [1830 kg/m3] exhibited a normal viscosity. In retrospect, PHPA should have been added in stages and allowed to circulate several times between each stage to avoid these excessive viscosities.
  • 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.
