    The document discusses factors to consider when selecting a high pressure high temperature (HPHT) mud system, including compatibility with downhole tools and compression/expansion characteristics. It also covers measuring pressure profiles accurately using compositional models, modeling temperatures to restrict flow line temperatures to 200F and bottomhole circulating temperatures to 350F, and selecting rheology models like the Power law, Robertson-Stiff, and Herschel-Buckley models which are more accurate at higher temperatures compared to the Bingham plastic and Cason models, with the Robertson-Stiff model being most accurate above 180F.

    How we select HPHT mud system:

    • Compatibility of drilling fluid with bottomhole tools.


    • Less compression & expansion characteristics under downhole conditions.

    Pressure profile measurement:


    -Use of compositional model for accurate measurement of density of with respect to pressure and temperature.

    Temperature modeling:
    -Prediction of flow line temperatures (FLT) & bottomhole circulating temperature (BHCT)
    - Generally flow line temperature should be restricted to 200F & 350F.

    Rheology Model Selection:


    -Power law model, Robertson-Stiff model & Herscel-Buckley model more accurate at higher temperatures than
    Bingham plastic & Cason Model
    - RS model most accurate above 180F.
