- What means fluid's spurt loss volume? How does it influence the drilling bit?
- What is the spurt loss? The spurt loss is the initial loss of fluids from a mud or frac fluid, before the walk cake can be formed.
So, how about the spurt loss volume? The spurt loss volume AKA the instantaneous volume (spurt) of liquid is the volume that passes through a filter medium prior to deposition of a competent and controlling filter cake.

- How to judge a mud cake excellent one or not ?
- During the drilling, the fluid loss play an important roles in the drilling progress. However, whether the mud cake is good, that affects the fluid loss test result. the thicker the mud cake, the larger the fluid loss; the thinner the mud cake, the lower the fluid loss. Because the thin mud cake have good permeability. They can control effectively the fluid loss value. The permeability of mud cake is a determinative factor for controlling fluid loss value.

- Oil outages speeding up new world energy order
- The world's oil market is rebalancing faster than expected due to several serious outages, but for now there is enough oil in storage and excess capacity to keep prices from spiking.

- The relationship of drilling fluids rheology and drilling operation （part2)
- We last left off on one main function of the rheology is to bring the cuttings out of the oil well, but what does it exactly mean? In fact, the good rheology plays a significant role in this process.

- Improve the well cementing quality, Choose suitable cementing additive---Cementing defoamer introduction
- In drilling industrial processes, foams will lead to serious problems. They cause defects on surface coatings. They prevent the efficient filling of containers. Cementing defoamers are available to prevent formation of foam.
A defoamer is a chemical additive that reduces and hinders and the formation of foam in industrial process liquids. Commonly used agents are insoluble oils, polydimethylsiloxanes and other silicones, certain alcohols, stearates and glycols. The additive is used to prevent formation of foam or is added to break a foam already formed.

- Saudi ouster will send oil prices ‘lower for longer’
- The recently announced changing of the guard in the Saudi oil ministry and the news spin around it says it is time to separate political banter and political reality.
The banter is about a big surprise in the dismissal of Ali al-Naimi as Saudi energy minister. The reality is that this move has been preordained for some time now. Why?

- The relationship of drilling fluids rheology and drilling operation （part1)
- To understand what is the rheology in oil field drilling, first of all, we should know in general speaking, in geology, rheology is particularly important in studies of moving ice, water, salt and magma, as well as in studies of deforming rocks, it also means there are varieties of the geological environments in the oilfield well drilling.

- The influence factors of drilling fluid lubricity
- The main factors can influence the lubricity of drilling fluids include: drilling fluid viscosity and density, the solid type and content of drilling fluids, leak-off situation of drilling fluids, the rock conditions, formation water salinity, PH value of the solution, the use of lubricant and other treatment agent etc.
Commonly used to improve the lubricating properties of drilling fluids, it mainly through rationally use lubricant to reduce friction coefficient, then improving the quality of mud cake to enhance the lubricity of cake.
Two types of Lubricants are commonly used in the drillin
