RESUMENSe modificó física y químicamente el almidón nativo de yuca con el fin de mejorar su resistencia térmica y el control de filtrado al ser usado en un fluido de perforación. La modificación física consistió en una pregelatinización y la química se realizó mediante un entrecruzamiento con tripolifosfato de sodio. Se planteó el diseño de experimentos superficie de respuesta, mediante el cual se encontró que la mejor concentración de almidón para minimizar el filtrado del lodo es 8 lb/bbl. Se formularon dos fluidos con dicha concentración de almidón y de Paxcell LV (CMC) con el fin de realizar una comparación entre el comportamiento de los dos aditivos y los lodos preparados con ellos. Los dos lodos presentaron un comportamiento similar; sin embargo, el de almidón modificado presentó mayor estabilidad a altas temperaturas y presiones.Palabras clave: control filtrado, almidón modificado yuca, entrecruzamiento, fluido perforación, base agua, estabilidad térmica. ABSTRACTThe yucca starch was modified looking for an improvement in its thermal resistance and fluid loss control to be used as an additive in drilling fluids. The physical modification was made by pregelatinization and the chemical modification was made by cross linking with sodium tripoliphospate. An experimental design was used to find the best concentration of starch that minimizes the fluid filtrate, this concentration was 8 pounds per barrel. Two muds were formulated with 8 pounds per barrel of modified starch and paxcell LV (CMC) respectively to comparate their behavior; both of them showed a similar behavior, however the modified starch had a higher stability at high temperatures and pressures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
