Engineered approach to breakers, reservoir drill-in fluids
The SMART RDF technology represents the novel approach M-I SWACO has taken to optimize the relationship of reservoir drill-in fluids and breakers to maximize production. With SMART RDF technology, we essentially customize reservoir drill-in fluids and breakers for your specific openhole completion.
Typically, in an openhole drilling and completion scenario, the drilling engineers choose a drilling or reservoir drill-in fluid on the basis of its capacity to reach TD with little downtime. When it’s time to complete the well, the crew faces the task of trying to remove as much of the filtercake as possible, with varying degrees of success.
Quite often, the breaker of choice is one or more harsh acids that cause premature and uneven breakthrough with incomplete results. That breakthrough often continues into the formation, resulting in even more damage. When that happens, the reservoir engineers face performing time-consuming and expensive remedial operations to get production back on track.
Our SWACO SMART RDF approach to drilling and completing a well includes everything that can affect the producing formation: the drilling program and fluids, the type of completion, formation characteristics, and your production goals. Afterward, M-I SWACO specialists match the SMART RDF reservoir drill-in fluids and breaker system to work specifically with the identified well characteristics.
SMART RDF technology allows operators to drill efficiently while still carrying out an unimpaired completion, minimizing concerns about drilling inefficiencies, formation damage, and compromised productivity.
