Mud Coolers for HT/HP Wells

HPHT drilling campaigns can be particularly high risk from an early design stage right through to operations, and how you manage that risk can be imperative to the success of your drilling campaign.

Whether it be offshore or on land, managing your drilling fluid temperature can ensure that you deliver your well within budget and on time. Escalating fluid temperatures can affect the performance and longevity of your downhole tools which can be a costly exercise to replace, or may result in a trip out of hole which takes time and time means money.

There is also the HSE regulations to consider, hot mud returning from the well and making its way through the mud system can make for a particularly uncomfortable working environment for the rig crew. To coincide with that, drilling fluid at excessive temperature can release particularly harmful vapors which again can put your rig crew at risk.

Now what about the rig? Hot drilling fluid will have a detrimental affect on the rig equipment, rig elastomers and pump liners will require additional maintenance which all adds the rigs bottom line.

At OSSO we manage the mud temperature on your HPHT campaigns and minimize the burden this can have on your operations. Our extensive experience which spans more than 300 HP/HT wells means not only do we fully comprehend and understand the high risk complexities and challenges when undertaking such campaigns, but we have the learned knowledge and the proven field technology to effectively support them.

Our in-house modelling software ensures we propose the optimum solution based on individual well conditions including sections, circulating volumes, and mud rheology.

At OSSO we have developed a range of high volume mud coolers that can be used both offshore and on land applications. The R&D put into developing our mud coolers has allowed OSSO to maximise the surface area, with a compact footprint allowing for ease of install with maximum performance.
