“…The results of this study indicated 30 ml fluid loss with 30 min of time interval, which is favourable only in larger hole diameter section (Amanullah et al 2016). Grass (Hussain and Wajheeuddin 2016), corn cob and coconut shell (Onuh et al 2017), rice husk and saw dust (Agwu et al 2019), mandarin peels powder (Al-Hameedi et al 2019a) and litchi leaves powder (Prakash et al 2021) have been used as environment friendly fluid loss control agent in water based mud. Al-Hameedi et al used potato peels powder (PPP) as thinner, pH reducer, and fluid loss controlling agent for WBDF (Al-Hameedi et al 2019b).…”

The present work is an attempt to carry on analytical work on a biodegradable cellulosic material obtained from the fibre of a plant which is scientifically known as Grewia Optiva. In this study, 125 µm particle size of Grewia optiva fibres was used as a filtration loss controlling agent in drilling fluid. The Grewia Optiva mud samples were hot rolled at 100 °C for 16 h and it was observed that the said fibre at 5% concentration (w/v) has reduced the low pressure-low temperature (LPLT) filtration loss of drilling mud by 72.5% under the differential pressure of 100 psi. On further assessment vis a vis comparative analysis with available market products like carboxy methyl cellulose-low viscosity grade (CMC-LVG) and polyanionic cellulose-low viscosity grade (PAC-LVG), it was found that addition of CMC and PAC-dLVG at 1.4% (w/v) in reference mud, the LPLT filtration loss was reduced by 70% and 70.6%, respectively. Use of 5% GOFP in the reference mud, the high pressure-high temperature (HPHT) filtration loss of drilling fluids was reduced by 69.2% at 100 °C temperature and 500 psi pressure. The thickness of filter cake was reduced by 41.1% after the addition of 5% GOFP in the reference mud. While the conventional fluid loss reducing agents such as CMC and PAC, both at 1.4% concentration have reduced the HPHT filtration loss by 63.46% and 64.6%, respectively, as compared to reference mud. This is indicative of a valid filtration loss control potential of Grewia optiva fibre powder.

Drilling fluid is essential to oil and gas drilling operations due to its diverse functionality. But the most commonly used drilling fluid additives are hazardous chemicals and are not biodegradable. As a result, the demand for environment-friendly additives has been raised to replace the hazardous chemical additives. Considering the rising interest toward green additive, this study examined the applicability of sawdust to be used as a biodegradable drilling fluid additive to improve the rheological and filtration properties of water-based mud. Sawdust was chosen for this study because of its high cellulose content, widespread availability, and low cost. Following the guidelines set by the American Petroleum Institute (API), we carried out laboratory experiments that encompassed three distinct concentrations of sawdust: sample 1 (with 0.25% sawdust), sample 2 (with 0.50% sawdust), and sample 3 (with 0.75% sawdust). The concentrations of sawdust were measured as a weight percentage of the total volume of the base water. Concentrations above 0.75% led to gelation issues. Results showed minimal impact on mud weight at 0.25% sawdust, while 0.50 and 0.75% concentrations caused slight weight reduction due to foam development. Plastic viscosity increased by 28.5, 42.8, and 71.4% for sample 1, sample 2, and sample 3, respectively, compared to the base mud. Sawdust-containing mud exhibited desirable gel strength and shear-thinning behavior. Moreover, sawdust significantly improved filtration properties by reducing fluid loss and mud cake thickness. Sample 2 (0.5% sawdust) performed well in terms of filtration properties. Mud cake permeability followed the trend: $${k}_{\mathrm{BM}}>{k}_{0.75\% \mathrm{sawdust}}>{k}_{0.25\% \mathrm{sawdust}}>{k}_{0.50\% \mathrm{sawdust}}$$ k BM > k 0.75 % sawdust > k 0.25 % sawdust > k 0.50 % sawdust . Based on promising laboratory performance, lower concentrations of sawdust are recommended as a cost-effective and eco-friendly additive to enhance rheological and filtration properties of water-based drilling fluid systems.
