  • Low density oil-based wellbore fluids and methods thereof
    Patent number: 12269987
    Abstract: A wellbore fluid may include an oleaginous continuous phase; a non-oleaginous discontinuous phase; an emulsifier stabilizing the non-oleaginous phase within the oleaginous phase; a low density material selected and in an amount to result in a specific gravity of the wellbore fluid that is less than 0.83; and at least one rheology modifier selected to suspend the low density material within the wellbore fluid.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 8, 2023
    Date of Patent: April 8, 2025
    Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
    Inventors: Roger Daniloff, Arne Asko, Nicholas Hilbig, Jerome Pic

  • Methods of detecting, preventing, and remediating lost circulation
    Patent number: 8401795
    Abstract: A method for planning a wellbore, the method including defining drilling data for drilling a segment of a planned wellbore and identifying a risk zone in the segment. Additionally, the method including determining an expected fluid loss for the risk zone and selecting a solution to reduce fluid loss in the risk zone. Furthermore, a method for treating drilling fluid loss at a drilling location, the method including calculating a drilling fluid loss rate at the drilling location, classifying the drilling fluid loss based on the drilling fluid loss rate, and selecting a solution based at least in part on the classifying.
