Drilling fluids are used during many drilling activities, such as water well drilling, geothermal drilling, drilling for oil and gas in horizontal or directional applications. Drilling fluids or slurries are also commonly used in mining, tunneling and when drill shafts are made. To assure the success of a drilling operation the right physical and chemical properties of drilling fluids have to be determined before using them in the field.
The MUDTEST slurry test kit complies with the requirements of API RP 13B-1 or the corresponding international standard ISO 10414 for field testing of drilling fluids.
The slurry test kit may carry the most needed instruments to determine drilling fluids as well as cement slurries. All testing instruments are well arranged in a high impact case. The content may be customized. The following properties may be determined:
