1 January 26, 2011 TG3: Oil Mud Testing Procedures Report To SC13 Exploration & Production Winter Standards Meeting Renaissance Worthington Hotel, Fort Worth, Texas January 25 - 26, 2011

2 January 26, 2011 TG Charge: Recommend needed changes and develop test procedures for field and laboratory testing of oil- based drilling fluids (results usually published in API RP 13B-2 / ISO 10414-2 and RP 13I / ISO 10416) TG3: Oil Mud Testing Procedures

3 January 26, 2011 Marvin Pless / Baker Hughes – Chair David Dino / Elementis – Secretary Brent Estes/ Chevron Larry Mitchell / OFITE Paul Scott / ConocoPhillips Tom Shumate / Baroid Catalin Ivan / ExxonMobil Tim Wilkin / M-I TG3 Members

4 January 26, 2011 WG1: Oil Mud Chemical Analysis Hibernation WG2: HPHT Direct Indicating Viscometers Sent back to WG to address TG comments WG3: Particle Size Distribution Testing of OBM / SBM Held one meeting and has developed a work plan for future action SR 3 : Measurement of NAF Internal Phase Activity Modifiers To be addressed by Paul Scott TG3 Report To SC13

5 January 26, 2011 Particle Plugging Test Revision for Inclusion in RP13B-2 Meeting with TG4/WG2, Ceramic PPT Procedure Re-Write New procedure will be applicable to RP13B-1, RP13B-2 and 13I WG2 to submit procedure to TG4 for approval Following approval of draft in TG4, draft procedure to be distributed to TG3 members for review / approval

6 January 26, 2011 Background: Increased emphasis on environmental aspects of drilling fluids is driving fluid companies toward non-chloride internal phase activity modifiers for non-aqueous fluids Introduced at the 2010 winter meetings SR 3 submitted by Brent Estes to the Task Group at the 2010 summer meetings Tabled by Task Group for further refinement Measurement of NAF Internal Phase Activity Modifiers

7 January 26, 2011 Actions assigned for consideration prior to winter standardization conference: Limit scope of materials to be addressed Inclusion of methodology for solids calculations into SR 3 document / WG Charge Measurement of NAF Internal Phase Activity Modifiers

8 January 26, 2011 Interested parties met on 12/7/2010 to draft a response to the Task Group: Activity modifiers to be considered Formates Nitrates Acetates Glycol / Glycerols Agreed to include methodology for utilizing activity measurements to calculate corrected solids. Measurement of NAF Internal Phase Activity Modifiers

9 January 26, 2011 Proposed Work Group Charge: Develop procedure(s) for measurement of non- chloride activity modifiers in non-aqueous fluids and methodology to use those measurements in corrected solids calculations. Measurement of NAF Internal Phase Activity Modifiers
