Conditions",
d) Research project (Task 10): "Study of Cuttings Transport with Aerated Mud
Under Elevated Pressure and Temperature Conditions",
e) Research on instrumentation tasks to measure:
- Cuttings concentration and distribution in a flowing slurry (Task 11), and
- Foam properties while transporting cuttings. (Task 12),
f) Development of a Safety program for the ACTS Flow Loop.
Progress on a comprehensive safety review of all flow-loop components and
operational procedures. (Task 1S).
