“…Paul and Adewale [47] used Zirconium (IV) oxide (ZRO 2 ) nanoparticles as additives for WBDM and had average values of 5 mL at 27 • C. In this work, in terms of filtrate volume, the microemulsified base per se provided similar values. With the significant increase in temperature (120 • C), [46] averaged 12 mL for the filtrate volume, indicating that the drilling fluids remained within API standards.…”

In this work, nonionic surfactant NP100 and pine oil influences on the filtrate volume (FV) and the filter-cake thickness (thkns) of microemulsified drilling fluids were studied. A ternary phase diagram was obtained to define the microemulsion region, where a 2k factorial design was used with the addition of four center points and axial points. Twelve microemulsion points were defined and used later in the formulation of the investigated drilling fluids. The results showed that the increase in the surfactant and pine oil’s concentration increased FV and thkns, withthe oil phase being the most influential component in the filtrate volume and the surfactant being the most influential in the filter-cake thickness. Statistically significant models were obtained. The optimal concentrations were determined for the lowest FV and thkns; 45% of surfactant and 5% of pine oil for the filtrate volume (1.3 mL), and 45% of surfactant and 15% of pine oil for the filter-cake thickness (0.64 mm).

In the exploration for hydrocarbons, a successful drilling operation to the desired depth hinges on the effective performance of the formulated drilling fluid. Apart from carrying drill cuttings to the surface, another major function of the fluid is to seal off the walls of the wellbore to prevent fluids from coming into and out of the wellbore while drilling a well. Numerous commercial fluid loss additives: carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), polyanionic cellulose (PAC), among others have been in existence with their drawbacks and effect on the total drilling cost. This study evaluates the use of locally sourced materials: Detarium microcarpum, Brachystegia eurycoma and rice husk, as fluid loss control additive in the water-based drilling fluid. The materials were prepared, ground and sieved to 125 microns. Four sets of water-based drilling muds were formulated using the local materials and CMC as fluid loss control additives. The mud formulation was based on the American Petroleum Institute (API) standard of 25g bentonite to 350mL of water. Also, the filtration test of the formulated muds was performed using API recommended practice for static filtration test at low temperature-low pressure (LTLP) condition. The results obtained showed that Detarium microcarpum and rice husk fluid loss volume and filter cake thickness were comparable with that of CMC from additive content of 10g, while Brachystegia eurycoma was comparable from additive content of 15g. Furthermore, the composite additive results indicated that Detarium microcarpum-rice husk at 95% Detarium microcarpum-5% rice husk performed better than Brachystegia eurycomarice husk of the same combination. Additionally, the fluid loss volume and filter cake thickness of Detarium microcarpum-rice husk additive were comparable with CMC from 10g content. Also, the results revealed that the fluid loss volume and filter cake thickness obtained from the locally sourced materials were within API specification for fluid loss control agents. The mud filter cake characteristics exhibited by these materials depicted that they have slippery, smooth and soft mud cakes; thus, the characteristics of a good mud cake that will prevent differential pipe sticking.
