Internship | Workover Fluids for Hydrostatic Wells

About this position

In this project, we are developing workover fluids for oil well operations, which are critical for safe and efficient installation of equipment. These fluids enhance well productivity or prolong their lifespan by facilitating the replacement of faulty parts. They also help control downhole pressures while minimizing risks like corrosion, formation damage, and fluid incompatibility. It is essential that workover fluids are stable both at the surface and in downhole conditions, and the overall goal of the project is to develop formulations with appropriate viscosity, density, and chemical and mechanical properties.

What will be your role?

In this project, you will learn about the physical / chemical processes surrounding foams and reversible seals that are intended for this application. Your work consists of developing novel formulations and testing their properties under relevant conditions (e.g. high pressure). Phy...
