| Summary: | Glycol and glycol derivatives are becoming increasingly popular used on water-based mud system. Glycol mud system used to enhance water based muds and the use of such systems can have a real application in areas where oil based muds would be considered as first choice. Glycol type and concentration can be modified to suit a particular drilling application. Glycol improve shale inhibition, increase lubricity, torque reduction, and reduce differential sticking potential.<p> <br />

This paper discusses the planning and eventual field application of such an optimised mud programme at XYZ field on Kalimantan. From previous well data, it was realised that the correct choice and optimised engineering of the mud system was of primary importance to the success of the project. The trial proved successful with this mud system to reduce drilling times, elimination of balling, improve shale stabilizer, and elimination of stuck pipe. |
