AES Drilling Fluids

  People mention API Recommended Practices as standards all the time, but what do they tell us about drilling fluids? How do we use them? Justin and Matt will discuss an overview of the fluids-related API Recommended Practices and how they standardize many of the tasks we perform daily.

In this episode, we dive into filtration testing. It may seem a tad lab intensive, but this type of testing can end up in the field on extreme wells or those that are a little more challenging. We run though some tests that you may have or have not heard of, so feel free to send in questions and your own personal experiences to us!
