Effect of Nanofluids of CuO and ZnO in Polyethylene Glycol and Polyvinylpyrrolidone on the Thermal, Electrical, and Filtration-Loss Properties of Water-Based Drilling Fluids

Abstract: The challenges in drilling problems such as formation damage, pipe sticking, lost circulation, poor hole cleaning, and fluid loss need better solutions. Nanotechnology, by means of nanofluids, provides potential solutions for the development of improved water-based mud (WBM). This work presents the use of nanofluids of CuO and ZnO prepared in various base fluids, such as xanthan gum, polyethylene glycol, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), which are commonly used in oilfield operations, for the development of nano… Show more

“…Ponmani et al [42] tested the effect of nanofluids of copper oxide (CuO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) at various concentrations (0-0.5 wt %) and in various base fluids, such as xanthan gum, polyethylene glycol (PEG-600), and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), for the development of nanofluid enhanced drilling mud (NWBM). The results were compared with these obtained from micro fluid enhanced drilling mud (MWBM) in order to assess the effect of particle size.…”

“…49ºC respectively. Gel strength at 10 seconds showed improvement with 2% concentration of leaves by recording maximum of 5 1 b/100 ft 2 at 70ºC while the lowest gel strength was recorded by 1% leaves concentration at 49ºC. A good gel strength (30.21 b/100 ft 2 ) at 10 minutes was recorded by mud sample with 3% leaves of M. oleifera at temperature of 30ºC.…”

“…When drilling into deeper formation, drilling mud has to endure elevated pressures and temperatures. Effect of temperature and pressure on the drilling mud rheological properties is complicated and leads to difficult challenges and mechanical concerns [2]. Rheology of the drilling mud has to be stable after aging in order for it to withstand downhole conditions.…”

“…Several researchers have studied the effect of improving the drilling fluid rheology utilizing different drilling fluid additives on enhancing hole cleaning [1][2][3][4]. The effect of adding nanoparticles (NPs) to drilling fluids to improve the rheological properties have been recently investigated [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. A summary of the used nanoparticles along with the improved parameters is shown in Table 1.…”
