Drilling Fluids /4 3 votes, 5 avg 63 Created on February 20, 2023 Drilling Fluids 1 / 4 1. Oil-based mud has a higher compressibility. How does the mud compressibility affect the lagging time between choke adjustments and drill pipe pressure changes? A. Decrease the time B. There is no way to know C. Has no effect on the time D. Increase the time 2 / 4 2. Which of the following drilling conditions can make it more difficult for the driller to detect a kick? A. High permeability formations with water based mud B. Low permeability formations with oil based mud C. Low permeability formations with water based mud D. High permeability formations with oil based mud 3 / 4 3. You are currently drilling a high temperature well. The downhole mud temperature is significantly higher compared to the surface mud temperature. What effect will the high temperature have on downhole hydrostatic pressure? A. None, the mud in the well is a constant density B. It will decrease the effective mud density downhole and cause a lower hydrostatic pressure C. Temperature will not affect mud density D. It will increase the effective mud density downhole and cause a higher hydrostatic pressure 4 / 4 4. What effect does increased temperature have on fluid density? A. It will increase fluid density B. It will reduce fluid density C. Temperature has no effect on fluid density Your score is LinkedIn Facebook Twitter VKontakte 0% Restart quiz Please rate this quiz Send feedback
