API RP 13I

Recommended Practice for Laboratory Testing of Drilling Fluids

Organization: API
Publication Date: 1 March 2009
Status: inactive
Page Count: 124
scope:

This International Standard provides procedures for the laboratory testing of both drilling fluid materials and drilling fluid physical, chemical and performance properties. It is applicable to both water-based and oil-based drilling fluids, as well as the base or "make-up" fluid.

It is not applicable as a detailed manual on drilling fluid control procedures. Recommendations regarding agitation and testing temperature are presented because the agitation history and temperature have a profound effect on drilling fluid properties.
