Drilling Mud Rheology
Sigra has a large size rotational viscosimeter which behaves in a hydraulically similar manner to the typical small units.
Drilling Mud Design
Sigra has a computer simulator that models the absolute pressure in a borehole along its length due to fluid flow.
Borehole Fluid Mechanics and Mud Design
It is important to achieve the correct hole cleaning, to reduce friction and to minimise formation damage (permeability loss around the borehole).
Well Control Procedures
Sigra manufactures, sells and uses its own annular blow out preventers in coal mining and coal seam gas applications.
Hydrofracture Design
Sigra designs hydrofracture systems for the purpose of stimulating flow from tight formations, including coal seams and other tight reservoirs.
Cementing — Grouting
Sigra has its own cementing equipment which is regularly used for transducer installation in boreholes and may be used to cement casing in place.
