Iranian experts at the National Iranian South Oil Company (NISOC) managed to acquire the technical savvy for production of extra-heavy drilling mud for the first time in the country.
According to the company, Ahmad
Mohammadi, NISOC CEO, said the mud, weighing 174pcf, was produced for drilling
operations in Bibi Hakimeh Field.
He said the heaviest drilling must
is 164 pcf but a heavier mud was needed in the operation to withstand pressures
beyond 2400 Psi, Shana wrote.
Calculation of the mud weight is
vital to prevent blowouts in drilling operations, Mohammadi added.
