PETE 203:
DRILLING ENGINEERING
LABORATORY MANUAL
APRIL 2003
PREFACE
The purpose of this manual is two fold: first to acquaint the Drilling Engineering students with the basic techniques of formulating, testing and analyzing the properties of drilling fluid and oil well cement, and second, to familiarize him with practical drilling and well control operations by means of a simulator. To achieve this objective, the manual is divided into two parts.
session下载The first part consists of seven experiments for measuring the physical properties of drilling fluid such as mud weight (density), rheology (viscosity, gel strength, yield point) sand content, wall building and filtration characteristics. There are also experiment for studying the effects of, and treatment techniques for, common contaminants on drilling fluid characteristics. Additionally, there are experiments for studying physical properties of Portland cement such as free water separation, normal and minimum water content and thickening time.
In the second part, there are five laboratory sessions that involve simulated drilling and well control exercises. They involve the use of the DS-100 Derrick Floor Simulator, a full replica of an actual drilling rig with fully operations controls, which allow the student to become completely absorbed in the exerci
ses as he would in an actual drilling operation. The simulator has realistic drilling rig responses that are synchronized to specific events, like rate of penetration, rotary table motion, and actual rig sounds such as accumulator recharge, break drawworks, etc.
It is hoped that the material in this manual will effectively supplement the theory aspect presented in the main course.

LABORATORY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety in the laboratory must be of vital concern to all those engaged in experimental science work. It is therefore the responsibility of everyone to adhere strictly to the basic safety precautions provided and to avoid any acts of carelessness that can endanger his life and that of others around him. It is equally important to always abide by all the instructions for conducting the experimental work during the laboratory sessions. Below are some guidelines for general laboratory safety and procedures:
1. All students must be familiar with the locations and operational procedures of
the Emergency Shower, Fire Extinguishers, Gas Masks and Fire Blankets.
These safety devices pictured below.
2.  Laboratory coats, safety glasses and safety shoes MUST be worn at all times
during the laboratory session. NO THOABS and open sandals are allowed
during the laboratory sessions.
3. Eating, drinking and smoking are strictly PROHIBITED in the laboratory at
all times. Laboratory glassware should NEVER be used for drinking  purpose.
4. Report any injury immediately for First Aid treatment, no matter how small.
5. Report any damage to equipment or instrument and broken glassware to the
laboratory instructor as soon as such damage occurs.
