Preview
Drilling muds Testing Laboratory “BURINTEKH”, Ltd is a research base with a full cycle of research on the creation and implementation of new promising developments in the field of muds.
Laboratory specialists are developing formulations for water-based muds: biopolymer, without a solid phase with a high density, aerated muds with a reduced density, process fluids without a solid phase; and oil-based muds; invert emulsion solutions for various environmental requirements.
The laboratory searches, selects and, if necessary, synthesizes new reagents used as components of muds.
Drilling muds Testing Laboratory also promptly solves and eliminates problems that arise during the engineering support of drilling muds.
The main directions of the laboratory work
Development of specialized water and oil-based mud systems for drilling using PDC bits produced by “BURINTEKH”, Ltd.
Incoming analysis of chemical reagents produced in Russia and abroad. Quality control of reagents used in the provision of services.
Optimization and selection of reagents for developed drilling mud systems.
Creation of synthetic polymer systems of drilling muds for regulation of their rheology and filtration under conditions of high temperature and salt aggression (mono- and bivalent salts) using copolymers of acrylamide and its non-ionic derivatives, sulfo derivatives of acrylamide.
Search for new effective inhibitors of clay shale swelling based on inorganic and organic compounds: glycols, polyamines, quaternary ammonium compounds, polyamino-polyethers.
Synthesis and laboratory testing of new effective lubricating additives for water-based muds.
