Effect of Hydrophobic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles on the Properties of Oil Based Drilling Fluid

Volume 11: Petroleum Technology, 2020
Abstract In recent years, nanoparticles (NPs) have shown the potential to improve the performance of oil well fluids significantly. Several studies have reported the ability of NPs to produce improved properties of both water and oil-based drilling fluids.

Sag of Weight Materials in Oil Based Drilling Fluids

Proceedings of IADC/SPE Asia Pacific Drilling Technology, 2002
Abstract To be able to keep a well under control during drilling it is important to have the weight material suspended during the whole operation. Especially in oil based, or synthetic based drilling fluids, controlling sag is difficult.

Anaerobic Biodegradability of Oil Base Fluid For Invert Emulsion Drilling Fluid.

Proceedings of IADC/SPE Drilling Conference, 1998
Abstract Environmental legislations restrict the use of oil based muds, specially in North Sea and their discharge under the form of oily cuttings. Different synthetic based muds (SBM) are proposed for replacing gas oil as the base fluid.

Drilling and Gravel Packing with an Oil Base Fluid System

Journal of Petroleum Technology, 1969
Formation damage usually is attributable to fluid systems that contain clay or significant amounts of water. Field experience, as well as laboratory studies, indicates that this damage can be avoided through the use of an oil-asphalt fluid system for drilling, completing, and gravel packing. Introduction

Comparison of Rheological Properties of Oil-Based and KCl Drilling Fluids

SPE Bergen One Day Seminar, 2016
Abstract One of the main tasks of drilling fluids is to transport cuttings to the surface to clean the borehole. During this process the fluid is exposed to different flow regimes, shear rates and temperatures. The fluid properties affect the flow behavior, where viscosity, density and gel strength are among the key parameters.

Monitoring of Atmospheres Associated With Oil-Based Drilling Fluids

Proceedings of SPE Health, Safety and Environment in Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Conference, 1994
Abstract In the latest years there has been a growing concern about the environmental aspects of the oil & gas industry activities. This awareness has been expressed not only by the public and the authorities but also by the industry itself.

Performance Of Oil-Based Drilling Fluids On Offshore Canadian Lands

Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology, 1988
Abstract In 1985, Esso Resources Canada Limited successfully introduced oil-based drilling fluids to their Beau/ort Sea and East Coast operations. During the past two years, Esso Resources has drilled a total of six offshore wells using these mud systems. The performance of oil-based drilling fluids, on these wells,

Synthesis and characterisation of a multifunctional oil-based drilling fluid additive

Environmental Earth Sciences, 2018
An oil-based drilling fluid additive H-DEA (or humic acid-cocamide diethanolamine) was synthesised using humic acid and cocamide diethanolamine as raw materials. The rheological behaviors of H-DEA showed that the synthesised product has the good properties in both decreasing the filtrate loss and improving rheology property of oil-based drilling fluids

Harmless Treatment Technology of Waste Oil–Based Drilling Fluids

Petroleum Science and Technology, 2014
Waste oil–based drilling fluids are hazardous wastes containing oil, heavy metals, and organic pollutants. The common treatment methods include pool storage, use of a secure landfills, heat treatment, and use of eel-roasting treatment technology. However, these methods not only waste many useful resources (because the oil is discarded rather than ...
