Pushing the Limits: How Using a Customized Organophilic Clay-Free Invert Emulsion Fluid OCF-IEF was Successful in Breaking the Record to Drill the Longest Well to Date in the Middle East and North Africa MENA and 4th Longest in the World 42,345 ft
Abstract:This paper discusses how an organophilic clay-free invert emulsion reservoir drill-in fluid (OCF-IEF-RDF) was customized to successfully break the longest well record in the Middle East and North Africa region and the 4th longest extended-reach drilling (ERD) well globally. The successful design included extensive lab testing to optimize performance of this innovative low-solids OCF-IEF-RDF used to drill the 25,415 ft. horizontal reservoir section. This specially designed drill-in fluid reduced key risks for d… Show more
