Sludge

Laboratory

768-512.png

Experimental tests are developed in the sludge laboratory to monitor the physical and chemical condition of drilling fluids, detect changes in their properties and possible behavioral anomalies caused by pollutants present in perforated formations, assess appropriate treatment, and take the necessary actions to ensure compliance with the required functions. Technical tests include: sludge density, total solids, sand content, rheological behavior, plastic viscosity, apparent viscosity, yield point, gel point, viscosifying performance, filter volume, revoque characteristics, pH, alkalinity, Hardness, Salinity, Methylene Blue Test.

The Sludge Laboratory of the EIP fulfills the function of supporting the material that bears the name of Drilling Sludge, as well as supporting the experimental phase of undergraduate and postgraduate students who are developing degree projects in the drilling area and that require the realization of tests to a drilling sludge formulated and elaborated there for this purpose.

In the EIP Sludge Laboratory, no software is used, since all the equipment is field equipment that only requires the intervention of the operator.
