WBM Solids analysis

Water Based Mud Solids Analysis

Mudweight, ppg
MBT
Pf, ml 0.02 N H2SO4
Mf, ml 0.02 N H2SO4
Pm, ml 0.02 N H2SO4
Cl concentration, mg/l
Retort analysis: Volume of oil retort, ml Volume of water reort, ml Retort cup volume, ml

		in mg/l			Diagnosis
		OH-	CO32-	HCO3-
	Pf = 0				unstable / very difficult to control
	2Pf < Mf				unstable / difficult to control
	2 Pf = Mf				unstable / can be controlled
	2Pf > Mf				stable / in good condition
	Pf = Mf				stable / in good condition
