Distinguished Lecture:
Designing The Perfect Drilling Fluid Additive: Can It Be Done?
Numerous challenges surround the design and use of chemicals in the well construction process. What may satisfy technical requirements may not also satisfy stringent environmental controls. This lecture discusses and presents reallife examples of drilling chemicals that have been designed and often redesigned to fit stringent environmental criteria according to the locations in which they are used.
