行业文章 Schlumberger Drilling Fluid Helps Artex Energy Group Achieve Utica Formation Objectives
Learn how Schlumberger worked with Artex Energy Group to deploy an integrated solution that opens new opportunities for water-based mud in deep wells.
HydraSpeed
ROP-enhancing primary lubricant
The HydraSpeed ROP-enhancing primary lubricant can be used in all types of water-based drilling systems when drilling highly deviated, extended-reach, or horizontal wells in onshore applications.
Demonstrating a coefficient of friction factor of 30.8 compared with 39.8 for a higher-cost lubricant, the lubricant has a nonhydrocarbon chemistry that provides the benefits of
- lubricity
- wellbore stabilization
- filtercake enhancement.
The HydraSpeed lubricant is easy to mix and can be added to the mud system through the mixing hopper or directly to the surface of the system in pits that provide good agitation.
