SC13 TG2 Publications: Stark Summary Report 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 SR 3 : 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 SR 3 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 SR 3 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. TG3 OBM Measurement of NAF Internal Phase Activity Modifiers

SC13 New Work Items Motion and vote on TG3 OBM Measurement of NAF Internal Phase Activity Modifiers

SC13 TG4 WBM & Lab Testing: Breeden Summary Report WG1 Drill Solids Simulation continues, WG2 PPT procedure re-write near completion, Ad hoc Filter cake compressibility – potential university interest, Ad hoc PSD Laser diffraction continues as Ad hoc, Presentation David Derwin Superior Graphite on different in RP13I abrasion test procedure blades – no new WG. Will liaise with supplier Fann

SC13 TG5 Summary Report: Robinson WG1 SCE calculations has new chair Neil Trotter should now make progress looking for new technology, WG2, Stocks: Educational Marketing group nearing recommendation for screen designation monogram or certification program

SC13 SC13 TG-6 Testing of Heavy Brines Quorum was established June 2010 Meeting Minutes Approved Buffer, Corrosion, and Future Project Work Groups completed their tasks Return Permeability, Displacement, Hydrate, Scale and Emulsion Technology Work Groups conducting/initiating business API CRA Testing Program – Update given Total Comments - ISO revisions

SC13 TG7 Rheology & Hydraulics Summary Report TG in hibernation previous chair Bern retired RP13D has numerous errors: Zamora has submitted errors and technical issues Zamora wants to reactivate TG and minor revision of RP13D to include additional items like effect of rotation Will discuss with Zamora

SC13 TG-8, Drilling Fluid Materials Action Items 01/26/11 1)Review wording of Starch and Guar tests with TG08WG02, vote and forward to TG08 2)Re-run SEBC tests with new sample of Starch in round robin repeat 3)Recommend hibernation for TG08WG04 (API RP13K) after voting comments are resolved (Passed) 4)Contact Saleh Al-Ammari for clarification on data presented to SC13, determine status of proposed WG and solicit members as appropriate (Establish WG) SC13 – Drilling Completion and Fracturing Fluids

SC13 TG9 Frac Fluids: Mahmoud Asadi Active Documents ISO (API 13M-1) Procedure for measuring viscous properties of completion fluids 5-year revision is under review by ISO/API ISO (API 13M-6) Procedure for measuring leakoff of completion fluids under dynamic conditions Final comments from the reviewers are under review by the committee members

SC13 TG9 Frac Fluids: Mahmoud Asadi WGs & Documents  ISO X (API 13M-X) Formation damage (regain permeability) First draft will be submitted to ISO/API in Jan 2012  ISO XX (API 13M-XX) Emulsion Kick-off meeting was held in 2010  ISO XXX (API 13M-XXX) Friction First draft will be submitted in Jan 2012

SC13 WG on Business Practices, Polnaszek Summary Report Proposed new TG and equipment for long term storage of technical data – wait to develop SR3 and SC13 vote on new TG Other work on RP and flowchart will continue

SC13 Transfer of Proppant TG from SC19 to SC13  CSOEM will most likely transfer of TG on Proppants from SC19 to SC13, Glenn Penny Chair

SC13 Comments on this meeting Good attendance Simultaneous meetings did not work and will try not to do it again Having true work group meetings was good and will be continued First row TG/WG seating did not work Will stay with Tuesday Wednesday schedule

SC13 Closing Comments My agenda as Chair: 1.Do things faster with same quality of work 2.Less is more – publication bloat reduction 3.Change: a)Embrace modern work processes b)Accept new technologies: API website, eWorking c)Encourage new and younger member participation 4.Social – Contact Jarad Hammar Thanks for Volunteering!
