  • Fiber-containing sweep fluids validated for ultra-deepwater drilling applications


    James M. Pappas

    While using fiber sweeps to improve borehole cleaning in the drilling process seems possible, the oil and gas industry has, thus far, failed to grasp a comprehensive understanding of the physics behind the use of fibrous particles in a field setting. For this to be achieved, a series of tests must first be conducted, prior to scale-up, to test hypotheses in a controlled setting. Such a project was recently completed through the Research Partnership to Secure Energy for America (RPSEA) Section 999 Program by The University of Oklahoma with support from MI-SWACO.
