“…The mud filter cake characteristics [28] such as smooth or coarse and the amount of voids and pits can be attributed to the type of additive added to mud formulation. It was observed that the mud filter cake with added nanoparticle, as shown in Figure 6d, was similar to that of the mud without nanoparticle.…”

Water-based mud is known as an environmental-friendly drilling fluid system. The formulation of water-based mud is designed to have specific rheological properties under specific oil field conditions. In this study, graphene nanoplatelet and silver nanoparticle (nanosilver) were added to a water-based mud formulation in which they act as drilling mud additives. Rheological properties measurements and filtration tests were conducted for evaluating the influence of the added nanoparticles. The results showed that the graphene nanoplatelet and the nanosilver increased the plastic viscosity (PV) by up to 89.2% and 64.2%, respectively. Meanwhile, both the yield point (YP) and the fluid loss values were reduced. In addition, we believe this is the first result ever report where nanosilver is utilized for enhancing-enhanced water-based mud's performance.

“…The relation between static filtration volume, V f , with time, t, is shown in Equation where V c is the volume of filter cake

V_{f} = c * \sqrt{t} + V_{s p u r t}

c = \frac{2 K Δ p}{μ} \times \frac{V_{f}}{V_{c}}

k, μ, a n d Δ p

are mud cake permeability, base fluid viscosity (which in here is KCl brine), and differential pressure, respectively.…”

Reduction of proven gas and oil reserves and increasing demand for energy forces the petroleum industry to drill deeper and more complicated wells. Drilling in these harsh environments requires drilling fluids with specific characteristics. So, improvement of the drilling fluids that can act as proper fluids at high pressure and high temperature conditions is vital in the drilling industry. The purpose of this study is examining the effects of SnO2 nanoparticles on the properties of drilling fluids and determining of the extent of improvement of water‐based drilling fluids performance. These nanoparticles were added to polymeric water‐based drilling fluids in various concentrations of 1, 2.5, 5, and 7.5 g/L in the presence of KCl at concentrations of 5, 15, 30, 60, and 100 g/L. The experiments were done at temperatures of 30, 50, 70, and 90 °C. Electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and thixotropy of the resulting drilling fluids were investigated. Moreover, filtration of the drilling fluids at room temperature, 65, and 95 °C and pressures of 0.6895 MPa (100 psig) and 2.758 MPa (400 psig) and various nanoparticle concentrations were studied. It was found that electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity were increased by 30 % and 15 %, respectively. Finally, in order to have more accurate hydraulic calculations, five rheological models were studied and compared together. It was observed that the Herschel‐Bulkley‐Papanastasiou model showed the highest accuracy with an absolute relative error of 1.1 %.

In this chapter, the information about rotary drilling rig components, their purpose and principles of operation is presented through the in-depth analysis of hoisting, rotating and circulating equipment. Detailed classification of drilling fluids and its content is followed by the thorough investigation of the phenomenon of drilling fluid losses. The effects of drilling mud additives and loss circulation materials on rheology and the rate of penetration of drilling mud are supported by the studies of comparing the rate of penetration of drilling mud with various loss circulation materials. Finally, the fluid capability to form filter cake on the borehole walls is presented through the physical simulation of flow.
