Maximising the value of geochemical data: drilling fluids and base oil contamination
The negative effects of drilling additives on the geochemical analysis of downhole samples are well documented. APT work closely with their clients during well planning to assist in clearly identifying what the geochemical work programme should achieve. This has been shown to greatly improve the results obtained, as the work programme can be tailored to maximise outcomes. Should forward planning not be possible, APT have developed several remediation methods to help overcome these issues and ensure our clients get the best possible results.
