Drilling fluids are a critical component in modern drilling operations, serving multiple functions such as transporting rock cuttings to the surface, maintaining wellbore stability, lubricating ...

There is frequently a great deal of uncertainty and misinformation around heat transfer systems, including their proper use and maintenance, causing dread and anxiety among system operators. This fear ...

Shini is very excited to start talking about Fluids. In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini is very excited to start talking about Fluids. You see, she's a Fluid Dynamicist and Mechanical ...

Rig-site fluid test automation has lagged automated drilling technology and is now a bottleneck to real-time drilling diagnostics and decisions. A new automated mud skid (AMS) addresses this gap by ...

Cooper-Standard. has been granted a patent for a system that utilizes RFID technology to sense physical properties of fluids in composite hoses. The system includes an RFID reader, a tag, and a sensor ...

If there are no shear stresses present, there is no fluid deformation, and the behavior of a fluid is described by the bulk modulus relating the pressure and the compression strain. In the presence of ...

All rocks in the earth's crust are fractured to some extent. Fractures form in response to stress. The origin of stress can be lithostatic (arising from the weight of the earth's crust), high fluid ...
