Although drilling salt may appear to be simple, salt behavior can be complex. Drilling fluids saturated with drill cuttings from these mixed salt formations have a particularly complex chemistry which can be difficult to understand and control.There are several problems that can occur while drilling salt section.
The APHRON fluid system changes the way fluid works. It is the only fluid that provides a variable density fluid downhole, and is able to create an automatic "at-balance" condition between the annular and formation pressures to stop invasion and movement of the fluid into the rock. The system has been used worldwide in high permeability sands, fractured sandstone, fractured limestone and dolomite, as well as fractured granite. It has proven highly effective in stopping losses and invasion while providing rapid cleanup and enhanced production.
With Libyan team, you’re not just hiring one of us; you’re hiring the whole team – from the lab research to application in the field. Our team will strive to make your well run smoothly, efficiently and help avoid costly setbacks.
We develop a complete mud program based on an extensive library of off-set well histories. We look at your own special needs to formulate a program specifically for each well. The engineering managers will assign a senior engineer as the ‘Team Leader’ on the well-site.
Our lab team with a PhD on staff, has a drilling and completion side for analyzing emergencies and formulating new products tailored to our customer needs.
With an average of over 15 years of experience our senior engineers can accommodate any of your drilling fluids needs. We have a wide diversity of expertise both on-shore and off-shore, domestically and internationally. All of our senior engineers and a majority of all our field personnel have roughneck experience. We know what is involved on the pits and how to mix mud. We are pit engineers, not trailer engineers!
