Approximately 100 years have passed since Non-Aqueous Drilling Fluids (NADF) was introduced to the drilling fluid of oil and gas development. Also NADF consumed worldwide and accounted for more than 45% of the total market in recent years.
In Japan, Synthetic Base Mud (SBM) has been successfully applied in a critical operations i.e. multilateral, extended reach drilling and water sensitive clay formation since 2006. However, our company was looking for domestic procurement of Non-Aqueous Base Fluids (NABF) because emergency procurement was difficult for NABF had been imported from abroad.
The authors will discuss the classification and history of the NADF, and describe current trends in the base fluid of NADF. And also, we will introduce our efforts related to domestic procurement of NABF.
