Drilling and Completion Fluids

Drilling-Fluids Displacement and Cased-Hole Cleaning

The full-length paper reviews the results from drilling-fluids-displacement and cased-hole-cleaning operations performed on 158 wells on the Norwegian continental shelf during the past 6 years. These wells cover a variety of different completion scenarios where water-based and oil-based drilling fluids were used. The paper discusses different casing-cleaning requirements vs. well-completion scenarios and displacement techniques.
