Drilling Fluids Testing Equipment


Drilling fluids testing is as important as the fluid system itself. By testing the make up water, new drilling fluid and the returning drilling fluid, we can determine many factors that may affect the operation. These include:

Abnormally low or high pH values

Contamination that may affect mud mixing

Cleaning system efficiency

Hole caving and resulting solids loading that may affect drilling and pullback rates (potential for frac-out)

Abnormal viscosity from drilled clay cuttings and hole swelling

Testing Equipment

Mud testing equipment, cups, funnels, scales, sand content kits, filter press, rheometer, Cl- and hardness titrating reagents, pH meters (or paper), solids retorts, etc., are usually available overnight.

Name Comments
Marsh Funnel and Cup

Used in measuring Marsh funnel viscosity.

Mud Balance

Measures the weight or density of mud.

PH Test Strips

Test strips detect pH of the mud to the nearest 0.5 pH unit.

Sand Content Kit

The sand content of mud can be eliminated by the use of a sand-screen set. Widely used in the field because of its simplicity.
