Overview
Preparing oil-based mud (OBM) on the drilling rig is typically labor-intensive, time-consuming, messy, and inefficient. The process requires mixing multiple fluid additives from different containers, takes up significant rig space, generates unnecessary waste, and creates on-site handling challenges.
The PureMagic™ single-sack OBM system from Baker Hughes is an innovative, first-of-its-kind OBM solution that revolutionizes how drilling fluids are prepared in the field. PureMagic combines 4-6 fluid components into a single premeasured sack, which helps streamline fluid management and potentially lower fluid costs in several ways.
Simplifying prep and improving reliability
PureMagic’s multiple additives arrive as a pre-blended, uniform formulation in a single sack. This formulation mixes easily to reduce mixing errors and prep time.
The simplified mixing process delivers more consistent and reliable mud properties. PureMagic can also be mixed across a broad range of fluid densities, making it adaptable to varying operational demands.
Improving operational efficiency
By replacing multiple OBM additives with a single, multifunctional product, PureMagic helps reduce material inventory, optimize rig space, shorten mud mixing time, and free up crew hours. Its streamlined logistics also offer potential savings in transportation, waste disposal, and overall mud costs.
Raising the bar for HSE
PureMagic dramatically reduces chemical exposure and handling on the rig, helping mitigate spill risks and improve overall safety. And with less packaging, fewer transport trips, and minimal waste, PureMagic helps make OBM prep a more efficient operation.
