Classifications of fluid systems

OSTI ID:509422
Descriptions of fluid-system classifications, product functions and source companies are listed on these pages. System descriptions and product definitions have been kept as simple as possible and, wherever practical, reflect general industry practice and terminology consistent with descriptions adopted by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC). Nine distinct fluid systems are defined, with the first six being water-based. Next are oil- and synthetic-based systems, along with the last, which consists of air, mist, foam or gas as the circulating medium. All chemicals and fluid systems listed in these tables are designed for use in drilling, completion and workover operations.
