Composition and Properties of Drilling and Completion Fluids.
The petroleum industry in general has been dominated by engineers and production specialists. The upstream segment of the industry is dominated by€drilling/completion engineers. Usually, neither of those disciplines have a great deal of training€in the chemistry aspects of drilling and completing a...
