IMDEX MUD AID™ (Automated In-field Diagnosis) is a remotely monitored, in-field mud testing unit, designed to optimise and automate fluid management.
When a drilling fluids specialist cannot be on site full-time, an automated system can be beneficial to measure and monitor drilling fluid properties. The newly launched IMDEX MUD AID™ is a remotely monitored, Automated In-field Diagnosis unit, designed to manage and automate drilling fluid processes.
The IMDEX MUD AID™ facilitates optimisation and execution of the drilling fluid program by presenting real-time information on fluid properties. This compliments the job of the drilling fluids specialist and may assist in optimising drilling fluid performance.
The unit live-samples drilling fluid and tests project specific properties, to API standard where applicable. The unit presents this data in real-time allowing the operator to make adjustments according to the program.
The IMDEX MUD AID™ is integrated with the company’s award winning, secure, cloud based web portal IMDEXHUB-IQ™, for complete visibility anywhere, anytime across the operation.
The IMDEX MUD AID™ is portable, lightweight and easy to install and operate. Set up is provided by a certified AMC drilling fluid specialist and includes pairing the IMDEX MUD AID™ to site specific conditions, setting parameters and automating alerts, helping to intercept any potential issues.
The drilling fluid specialist will remotely provide periodic monitoring and recommendations, so drillers can attempt to rectify variances in the system – providing drillers greater control over their drilling fluid system.
Drilling fluid test properties are viewed through the IMDEXHUB-IQ™ as well as on the unit display, which provides instant, secure access to real-time data and historical information. Data can also be downloaded via USB.

Down the borehole, you can’t always predict when or how things will go wrong. AMC’s patent pending Borehole Optimisation System (AMC BOS™) anticipates fluid loss, lost circulation and unstable zones, even in the most difficult conditions – making operations smoother and more predictable.
AMC BOS FIX™ is designed specifically to be used in conjunction with the AMC BOS UNIT™ as a preventative maintenance system to minimize borehole torque and fluid losses, while also maximising borehole stabilisation, penetration rates, core recovery and overall productivity.
The MARSH FUNNEL is an instrument used to measure drilling fluid viscosity, commonly used with the AMC MEASURING CUP. The MARSH FUNNEL is molded from a tough, durable plastic that resists breaking or cracking. A brass orifice assures consistency in all readings.
