“…They can be made with synthetic or diesel-based oil. Mist, foams, and stiff foams are examples of air drilling fluids that are exclusively utilized in extremely narrow and specific applications [19][20][21][22]. Drilling fluids come in three main compositions: water, oil, or synthetic, and each one offers a unique set of DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.114941 solutions for the well.…”

Drilling fluids are increasingly being infused with nanoparticles to improve their functionality. The potential of several nanoparticle types including metal oxides, carbon nanotubes, and graphene nanoplates to enhance the rheological, filtration, and thermal characteristics of drilling fluids is being researched. The literature uses nanoparticles at a concentration of roughly 3–5%. The mechanical, thermal, and physicochemical characteristics of drilling fluids can all be improved, heat transmission can be improved, and frictional resistance can be decreased with the help of nanoparticles. For drill-fluid rheology, silica and alumina nanoparticles are especially helpful. In general, research on the application of nanoparticles in drilling fluids is a potential field for the oil and gas sector.

Drilling fluids’ rheological and filtration qualities have been discovered to be improved by graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). Research has demonstrated that adding GNPs to water-based mud (WBM) can enhance its plastic viscosity (PV), yield point (YP), gel strength (GS), filtration loss (FL), and filter cake thickness (FCT). Their small particle size, excellent material dispersion, and thermal stability are the reasons behind the usage of GNPs in drilling fluid. Here, GNP from Kenaf stem was synthesized, and its surface was modified with nonionic surfactant triton-X100 to improve its dispersion in aqueous media. The synthesized nanomaterials were subjected to particle size distribution (PSD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and zeta potential analysis to confirm their elemental content, stability, and particle size. Critical analysis and a comparison of the properties of surface modified GNP (GNT) and synthesized GNP from Kenaf (GNK) were conducted in WBM formulations. The materials are stable, according to the zeta potential study, although the EDX results showed that surface modification reduced the oxygen-containing group in GNT. Better rheological properties were obtained by adding the synthesized materials to WBM as an additive. PV increased from 13.5 to 17cp, YP increased from 31 to 40 lb/100ft2, FL control performance improved from 12mL to 6.5mL, and FCT decreased from 2.60 to 1.20mm. It has been discovered that adding GNT to WBM enhances its rheological and filtration properties more effectively than adding GNK, which makes it a viable inclusion for drilling operations.

In their raw forms, clay minerals are found with a number of inherent impurities which make them unsuitable for most industrial applications. In order to overcome this problem and add value to clay minerals, beneficiation process is an indispensable solution. This study investigates effect of wet beneficiation process on the characteristics of a local clay mined from Getso village of Kano State, Nigeria. Mineralogical characterization of the clay was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyzer. Chemical characterization of the clay was carried out using X-ray fluorescence analyzer. Physicochemical characterization of the clay was carried out using pH meter and density analysis conducted using density bottle. XRD analysis of Getso clay showed that the raw clay had 8 wt% kaolinite and 51% quartz. Wet beneficiation resulted into 53% improvement of the kaolinite content and 47% reduction of quartz impurity. The XRF analysis has shown that silica-alumina ratio of the raw Getso clay was 1.55 and this reduced to 1.49 after beneficiation. The physicochemical characterization of the clay has shown that Getso clay is neutral, the raw clay and beneficiated clay had average pH values of 7.5 and 7.3, respectively. Specific gravity values of the raw and beneficiated clay were 2.24 and 2.04, respectively. The beneficiation process had been effective as substantial increase in kaolinte content was observed and a reasonable decrese in the impurity contents was observed from the raw to the beneficiated clay. The Garnet content was completely reduced to zero while quartz, clinochlore and orthoclase were reduced by 24%, 9% and 13% respectively. The clay obtained after the beneficiation be serve as good raw material for production of whitewares, high grade ceramics in synthesis of zeolitic materials.
