With the incessantly rising energy demands from the increasing population worldwide, the situation and the state-of-the-art petroleum and gas technology well herald the time to switch to High Pressure/High Temperature (HP/HT) mode of drilling. Being able to develop and produce from HP/HT wells is a relatively new concept for the upstream industry. This article introduces and discusses the benefits and limitations of a new technology to reduce the temperature of circulating fluids in wellbores. This technology makes use of phase-change materials (PCM), which utilize the latent heat of phase change to absorb the energy transferred to the drilling fluid from the formation or the drilling string.
