Range of activities:
- development of the composition and preparation technologies for drilling fluids, completion and workover fluids, cement slurries and binding mixtures for various technical and geological drilling conditions;
- the comprehensive examination and evaluation of new types of chemicals, flushing and binding materials designed for the preparation and regulation of drilling fluids and cement slurries;
- measurement of the technological parameters of drilling fluids and cement stone in normal and high temperature and pressure conditions;
- studies on the impact of drilling fluids on drilled rocks;
- the selection of drilling fluids, cement slurries and buffer fluids in order to improve the effectiveness of borehole cementing;
- service tests for current cementing operations;
- specialised laboratory tests related to determination of: friction coefficient of drilling fluids and surface tension at the interface, crystallisation temperature and purity of brines, type of emulsion, solid phase sedimentation, effectiveness of cuttings removal in directional and horizontal boreholes and also of mud cakes removal from rocks prior to cementing, resistance to gas migration in a setting cement slurry in borehole-like conditions, early compression strength of a cement stone, corrosion resistance of cement stone in various deposit environments, porosity of cement stone, gas permeability of cement stone and rocks, chemicals content in drilling fluids, degree of chemical and drilling fluid toxicity using bacteria bioindicators;
- studies of the physicomechanical properties of rocks in terms of drillability.
