  • NMR CHARACTERIZATION OF MODIFIED DRILLING FLUIDS
    Publication number: 20250052705
    Abstract: A method for evaluating a multiphase drilling fluid includes receiving a sample of the multiphase drilling fluid and modifying the sample to enhance a separation of a first NMR peak corresponding to a first fluid phase component and a second NMR peak corresponding to a second fluid phase component. A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement is made of the modified sample and evaluated to compute a property of the drilling fluid.

  • DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR DRILLING FLUID MANAGEMENT
    Publication number: 20240141737
    Abstract: A drilling fluid management system may receive a measurement of measured drilling fluid properties for a drilling fluid. A drilling fluid management system may compare the measurement of the measured drilling fluid properties to setpoint drilling fluid properties to generate a difference between the measurement and the setpoint drilling fluid properties. A drilling fluid management system may, based at least in part on the difference between the measurement and the setpoint drilling fluid properties, prep are a recommendation to return the drilling fluid to the setpoint drilling fluid properties.
