| dc.description.abstract | The HPHT (High-Pressure, High-Temperature) filter press plays a critical role in
evaluating the performance of drilling fluids under extreme conditions. Its primary
function is to assess filtration control by measuring the fluid's ability to minimize
filtration loss. This study focuses on the results obtained, the filtrate water from
the HPHT test was measured at 4.7 mL, indicating that the mud has excellent
filtration properties under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. This
low filtrate volume suggests that the mud effectively minimizes fluid loss, which
is crucial for maintaining wellbore stability and preventing formation damage.
Additionally, the mud cake thickness was calculated to be 1.6 mm, signifying that
it is both safe and elastic. This optimal thickness ensures a strong seal against the
wellbore walls while maintaining flexibility. According to the theories drilling
operations in such high pressure and high temperature environments can be very
challenging. High-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) environments are
defined by conditions where the pressure exceeds 10,000 psi (690 bar) and
temperatures surpass 300 °F (149 °C). These conditions represent significant
operational challenges, requiring advanced technologies and methodologies to
ensure safety and efficiency. | en_US |
