MudSim AS, a provider of software for drilling fluid optimization, has received funding from the Green Offshore Tech program and EU to develop solutions for sustainable drilling operations.
In this project, MudSim will develop innovative software tools to select optimal and more environmental friendly drilling fluid for drilling of exploration-, production-, P&A-, and geothermal wells. This project will introduce a new drill planning process that focus on both traditional drilling factors (such as pressure drop, viscosity, drilling speed, hole cleaning efficiency, density, etc.) but also environmental factors.
This project represents a significant step forward for selection of drilling fluid with lower CO2 footprint in drilling operations.
