1. IADC SCAC Conference
e-poster guidelines
26-27 October 2023
Taj Land’s End, Mumbai

2. ePoster Guidelines
Poster sessions are a valuable means of promoting discussion, both within specified disciplines and across widely different
research areas. A poster should be able to stand-alone. A colleague should be able to determine the purpose, data and
significance of a project simply by looking at and reading the poster.
A clear title with the author’s name, affiliation, address and contact numbers is desirable, as well as an abstract in large bulletin
type. Charts, drawings, and illustrations might be similar to those one would use for journal articles, or in making slides;
however, they should be readable from a distance of several feet. It is best to keep illustrative material simple.
 Make the display as self-explanatory as possible
 Draw a plan keeping the size and number of illustrations in mind
 Place the information sequentially beginning with the main idea or problem, method used, result etc.
 Keep illustrations simple, using charts, graphs, drawings and pictures to create interest and visually explain a point
 A note about commercialism: IADC is strictly against the use of language that is commercial in tone in the poster’s and
this should be avoided. Reference to specific trade or tool names should be avoided.

3. Presentation Title: Impact of Solids Control Performance
on Drilling Fluids
• Speaker Name: Noel D’mello
• Speaker Company: Derrick Corporation
• Speaker Job Title: Country Manager

4. Why Prodigy
Objective
INTRODUCTION TO SOLIDS CONTROL
SOLIDS CONTROL SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION
TRIAL, SURVEY, ANALYSIS FINDINGS
CASE STUDIES
COMMON PROBLEMS WHILE DRILLING
FACTORS AFFECTING SCE PERFORMANCE
HOW TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE

5. Why Prodigy
Introduction to Solids Control
Manage drilling fluids properties by removing unwanted solids
Shale shakers, Hydrocyclones (Desander and Desilter) and Centrifuge.
Critical in ensuring efficient and effective drilling.

6. Why Prodigy
Solids Control Optimization
Solids control optimization leads to Increased Drilling Efficiency, material
Cost Reduction and better Environmental Profile through
Less Waste
To drill wells with
the lowest cost
possible
Minimize total costs
associated with
drilling fluids, solids
control and waste
management
Drilling wells
efficiently and
safely
Optimize performance by,
improving ROP,
enhancing hole stability,
Reduce incidents of stuck
pipe and reducing NPT
associated with poor
solids control
Reducing
environmental
impact
Minimize drilling waste,
rig’s environmental and
carbon footprint.

7. Why Prodigy
Our solids control equipment performance surveys
indicate:
Results are based on investigations of drilling operations in most regions over multiple years
 90% of drilling operations have room for improvement
 Some have large potential savings and efficiency gains, some have limited
 We do not know the magnitude of the improvement potential, till we identify the challenges and test the efficiency of the existing
solids control systems
 More than 65% of drilling operations have suboptimal solids control, leading to;
 High drilled solids content in drilling fluids
 High drilling fluids consumption/dilution
 Slow drilling (low ROP)
 Wear and tear on downhole tools and equipment
 Unnecessary waste generated
Resulting in less cost-
efficient operations
Can be investigated and
improved
 Save costs
 Save time
 Save environment

The following parameters are considered for the well performance analysis:
Key Performance Indicators( KPIs)
 Normalized Cost ($)
 Mud Cost ($/m)
 Mud Consumption (m3/m)
 Total Volume built (m3)
 SCE Loss (m3/m)
 %DS
 ROP (m/hr)
 NPT Hours
Mud Cost Assumptions
WBM : $50/bbl or $314 / m3,
SBM : $100/bbl or $629 / m3

9. Why Prodigy
Common Problems faced while Drilling
 Shaker overflow issues
 Frequent shaker screen damage
 Improper hole cleaning
 Mud contamination
 High Torque/Drag issues
 Tight Pull / Back-reaming
 Directly or indirectly related to drilling fluids &
SCE performance.
 Excessive dilution to maintain mud parameters
increases mud cost.
Root cause analysis at an early stage could
eliminate the issues.

10. Why Prodigy
Common factors affecting SCE performance
 Poor Equipment Selection/Specifications
 Use of non-OEM, poor quality API RP 13C non-compliant
screens
 Coarse screening
 Solids bypass due to Primitive screen clamping system
 Irregular maintenance of SCE
POSITIVE MINDSET
ANALYTICAL
APPROACH
Instead of searching for the root cause, we start taking actions
only after we face any bigger issue.

QUESTIONS?
The Derrick® family are here to help you!

12.  Please note you have 10 minutes for your presentation. 5-7 minutes to present and 3-4 minutes for Q&A and open
discussion. It is therefore recommended that you limit the number of slides.
 Main Heading in Arial Bold 32 Point Font and all other text to be Arial 18.
 Presentations must not be commercial in tone. NO SALES PITCH.
 Your company logo may be inserted in the FIRST SLIDE ONLY.
 You may use graphs, charts, images as required. Please ensure they will be easily visible when projected.
 Please have an ‘Objective’ slide at the beginning of your presentation, and a ‘Summary’ at the end.
 Please email a copy of your presentation to the Poster Chairpersons as the materials will be reviewed by them and they will
liaise with you directly for their feedback and comments and any changes that may need to be made to your presentation.
PRESENTATION GUIDELINES:

13. The following equipment will be available for your presentation:
1. LCD Screen
2. Laptop with Windows XP Professional/Microsoft Office 365
If you have any additional requirements for AV, you may email and let us know at the earliest.
Every effort will be made to honor your request.
Regrettably, IADC will be unable to provide any special requirements requested onsite.
AV EQUIPMENT PROVIDED BY IADC

14. 1. All speakers are required to email the final version of your e-poster in Powerpoint format by Friday, 13 October 2023
2. Basic AV Equipment will be provided by IADC to ensure smooth running of your presentation. Kindly refer to slide 5 for
further details.
3. These e-posters will be displayed during the ePoster session which will take place during the tea/coffee/lunch breaks 26-27
October 2023. Kindly ensure to have the speaker stand by the poster during the designated time to explain or answer any
queries. Each eposter is entitled for a 10 minutes time slot with 6-7 minutes for presentation and 3-4 minutes of Q&A
session.
