See TG reports for status of all SC13 documents

RP13B-2 is close to go to ISO FDIS Feb 2011

SC13

• 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

• SR3: Measurement of NAF Internal Phase Activity Modifiers• To be addressed by Paul Scott

TG3 OBM Report To SC13: Pless

SC13

TG3 OBM 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

SC13

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

•SR3 submitted by Brent Estes to the Task Group at the 2010 summer meetings

•Tabled by Task Group for further refinement

TG3 OBM Measurement of NAF Internal Phase Activity Modifiers

SC13

Actions assigned for consideration prior to winter standardization conference:

• Limit scope of materials to be addressed

• Inclusion of methodology for solids calculations into SR3 document / WG Charge

TG3 OBM Measurement of NAF Internal Phase Activity Modifiers

SC13

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.

TG3 OBM Measurement of NAF Internal Phase Activity Modifiers

SC13

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.
