Traditional methods for the disposal of Oil-Based Mud (OBM) drill cuttings have included pit burial or leaving the untreated cuttings scattered in-situ. Increasingly stringent regulations and increased environmental awareness have required new and improved disposal techniques. Scomi Equipment Inc, with over twenty one years Drilling Waste Management experience, has developed a system to remedia...

The “E” well to be drilled is a development in the “P” field located North Sumatra Basin. During drilling operation using HPWBM, HPWBM used overcome shale instability. This water-based mud because it cheaper and more economical than oil-based mud. However, this needs added with other chemicals has weakness controlling formation. system design for uses offset method, which data from nearby wells...

Bante (BaSO,), a major component of drilling muds, can change the texture and erosion properties of surface sediments near offshore d r i h g sites. The effects of barite on the ecology of the marine polychaete Mediomastus arnbiseta (Hartman) were examined in laboratory experiments: a migration experiment, 2 feeding experiments and a growth experiment. In the migration experiment, 18 of 19 worm...

Abstract This work investigates the efficacy of a biodegradable natural product, litchi leaves powder (LLP) as filtration loss control agent in water-based drilling fluid formulations. In order to evaluate potential (LLP), strict protocol experimentations according API (American Petroleum Institute) standard has been followed. The experimental outcome showed that before hot rolling and after mu...
