FLUIDS PROCESSING OPTIMIZATION / ADVISORS Drilling fluids play a prominent role in the extraction of oil and gas. To ensure efficiency and prevent damage to equipment and the production zone, specific properties of the drilling fluids should be kept in check and optimized. These properties include solid concentration and particle size.
What is solid content?
Soluble and insoluble solids in the drilling fluid system are referred to as solid content. They include chemical additives, weighting agents and drilling cuttings. The concentration of these solids increases while drilling.
Type of solids: Soluble solids
Impacts of solids in drilling mud performance: Surge/swab pressure Rate of penetration
These are mainly salts that are added to the drilling mud to stabilize the well and stimulate the formation of the filter cake.
The rate of penetration will reduce if there is a high concentration of solids in the drilling muds. It will be ill-advised to reduce the level of chemical additives and weighting agents because they maintain mud properties. However, drilling solids should be continuously removed from the mud. .
High concentration of solids in the mud can lead to excessive surge/swab pressure. In turn, excessive surge/swab pressure leads to lost circulation, partial mud loss and formation fracture.
Equivalent circulating density (ECD)
Differential sticking
Insoluble high-gravity solids (HGS These include weighting agents such as calcium carbonate and barite that are added to adjust the density of the mud.
Insoluble low-gravity solids (LGS) These are also known as drilled solids, such as solids particles from cuttings.
This is the effective density exerted by the circulating mud against the formation. It takes into account the mud density and the annular pressure loss. Solids increase the equivalent circulation density. Excessive ECD leads to lost circulation and fracture of the formation.
High concentration of low gravity solids in the mud will make the filter cake thick and sticky. Such filter cakes will differentially stick across permeable formations.
Controlling drilling solids in drilling fluids Insoluble low-gravity solids pose the greatest danger to the drilling fluid; they slowly depreciate the mud properties. Furthermore, removal of some drilling solids from the mud is difficult. For example, if the solid particles are less than five microns in size, they cannot be isolated from the mud by mechanical means. The presence of excess low-gravity solids in the mud can make the density drop. Due to the great danger posed by drilled solids, it is a good practice to test the level of drilled solids in the mud at least twice daily. The concentration of drilled solids in the mud should not exceed 6-7 percent.
Proactive Fluid Solutions that Deliver Results Kodiak is on the leading edge of fluid and waste management – offering a wide range of effective consultancy assessment and highly skilled personnel. We are dedicated to providing proactive fluid solutions by preventing problems rather than reacting to them. Our experienced professionals can show customers different and better ways to handle fluid and waste management – thus increasing efficiency and production while saving you time and money. Our services are also focused on optimizing mechanical efficiency, increasing drilling fluid life cycle and operational performance, and reducing NPT affiliated with solids control inefficiency. Our highly trained and certified advisors are in-depth knowledge of all equipment and procedures, along with extensive experience working under a variety of challenging conditions. Improved drilling fluid properties Reduced haul-off expenses Equipment and service cost savings Our team will evaluate your entire operation and make suggestions to improve production as well as your operations in general. The fact is that our fluid and waste management services have been proven to save customers “days on well” – and unlike most of our competitors, we provide hard data to illustrate exactly how we will achieve these results.
Kodiak can help you control the properties of drilling mud Our specialists analyze the properties of your drilling fluids and adjust them to the optimum levels. We do this through particle size and distribution analysis, and by regulating the concentration of solids in drilling muds.
We Deliver Proof – Not Projections We provide proven results using invoices to show cost savings – while most of our competitors only make projections that sometimes prove inaccurate. We provide real-time results that are tracked. We also utilize case histories to show exactly how we have helped other customers improve efficiency and save money. We deliver tangible proof that our customers can save significant money in the long run by taking an overall view and making a long-term investment in Kodiak Fluid Management services.

Our Philosopy – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle At Kodiak we apply a fluid and waste management philosophy focused on reducing waste streams, while also reusing and recycling materials whenever possible. Our “reduce, reuse and recycle” philosophy is part of our commitment to environmental responsibility – with the added benefit of increasing cost savings for our customers.
Utilizing Fluid Recovery & Mechanical Efficiency In most instances, the aggregate volume of wastes will generally be ten to fifteen times the overall volume of the hole drilled – with the exception of cuttings volume, which will always equal the volume of the hole drilled. While cuttings volume cannot be reduced, all other waste streams can be lessened through proper application of the Kodiak fluid and waste management philosophy. At Kodiak, we are dedicated to training our personnel and educating our customers about the advantages of embracing new practices. We are constantly working to develop new and better ways to reduce, reuse and recycle for the benefit of our customers, our industry and the environment.
Mud Lab – Proven Results Kodiak modern lab utilizes the latest technology in the oilfield services industry to help increase productivity and prevent problems – while also providing proven results. Combining powerful technology with highly skilled technical experts, we offer a Mud Lab in the field to provide comprehensive testing and analysis of drilling fluids. This allows us to provide customers with critical performance-tracking values and strategic efficiency monitoring. From field testing and determining whether or not the mud is performing properly, we are able to make adjustments and prevent potential problems – thus saving significant costs and increase the efficiency of your drilling operations.
