Achieve Drilling Fluid Perfection
• Safety
– No longer do you require someone to pull samples from the
tank.
– Proper mud weight reduces the changes of a catastrophic
blowout.
• Performance
– Higher ROP
– Better manage corrosion
– Identify particles
– Better well bores
– Lower mud losses into the formation
– Feed real time drilling fluid data to drilling optimization
programs

Achieve Drilling Fluid Perfection
• Cost and Revenues
– Reduced chance of injury and blowout
– Increase Drill Bit life
– Reduce trips
– Reduce wellbore issues that cause stuck pipe or multiple
trips.
– Reduce drilling time
– Reduce the amount and frequency of additives
– Reduce the amount of total drilling fluid needed
– More drilling cycles for your drilling equipment more
revenues/profit per year.

Remote Monitoring
You no longer need to have a mud engineer on the rig.
A remote engineer can now monitor and advise in real time
multiple rigs around the globe.

shown by the blue lines (vertical blue line on image is zero velocity; horizontal blue
lines on profile to the right are the magnitude of the slip velocity).
