SPE Drilling & Completion Fluids and Waste Management Workshop

Drilling & Completion fluids are an integral component in well construction. Well construction is becoming more complex as wells are being drilled in deeper water, higher pressure/high temperature environments, as well as more environmentally sensitive locations. Fluid design needs to consider all facets of the well construction, including overcoming various wellbore stability issues, maintaining well integrity, minimizing formation damage to maximize productivity and reducing overall environmental impact.
