Experimental evaluation of nanomaterials to improve drilling fluid properties of water-based muds HP/HT applications

摘要: Abstract These days, significant investigations are carried out on the preparation of high qualified aqueous-based drilling fluid-structure to create best option compared with oil-base fluid at high-pressure and high-temperature situations utilizing an optimum cost approach. Nanomaterials may have desirable possibility using their favored utilization documented in many publications. Although cost, due more concentration side undesirable effects one or some mud properties, this situation restricts these materials various industries. In experimental research, effort was made enhance application water-based fluids by three kinds nanomaterials, called zirconium oxide, multi-walled carbon nanotubes titanium dioxide nanohybrids, functionalized multi-wall nanotubes. Accomplishing rheological, filtration characteristics conductivity experiments samples nanomaterials mentioned manifested that hybrids oxide efficiently improve rheological parameters including plastic viscosity, yield point gel strength a slow influence filtrate volume. However, nanotubes, properties remarkably decreased no characteristics, particularly 0.5 wt% concentration. Generally, it could be concluded concentrations up into has enhancing characteristics.
