Innovative Nanoparticle Drilling Fluid and Its Benefits to Horizontal or Extended Reach Drilling
“In horizontal or extended reach wells drilling, one key factor of limiting the well length is the drag between wellbore and drillstring, which restricts the whole efficiency of draining oil reservoir.”
Novel Nanoparticle-Based Drilling Fluid with Improved Characteristics
“The cost of the drilling fluid loss often represents one of the single peak capital expenditure during drilling. Current experience, nevertheless, shows that it is often impossible to reduce fluid loss successfully with micro and macro type fluid loss additives due to the fact that their physio-chemical and mechanical characteristics still falls short of the best that can be conceived.”
