This study investigates the effect of using date seed-based additive on the performance of water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs). Specifically, the effects of date pit (DP) fat content, particle size, and DP loading on the drilling fluids density, rheological properties, filtration properties, and thermal stability were investigated. The results showed that dispersion of particles less than 75 μm DP into the WBDFs enhanced the rheological as well as fluid loss control properties. Optimum fluid loss and filter cake thickness can be achieved by addition of 15–20 wt % DP loading to drilling fluid formulation.

Abstract Saudi Arabian based companies are spending many millions of dollars a year on import of drilling mud additives to meet the drilling industry demand. To cut the imported materials, locally available materials are preferable. Out of many drilling fluid additives, a single locally available additive such as fluid loss can save millions of dollars a year. The cost and locally available raw material justify the development of drilling fluid additives in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In other aspect, local development provides many benefits to the Kingdom including industrial growth, technology ownership and new job opportunities. Okra (Hibiscus esculents) is widely used as a thickener and viscosifier in medical and food industries due to its low cost, availability, longer shelf life, and high thermal tolerance. In addition to that, it is environment friendly and available in abundance locally in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The composition of Okra powder was diagnosed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The thermal stability of Okra was tested using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The Okra powder was mixed in various concentrations such as (1, 2 and 3) grams in 350ml of water based drilling fluid (WBDF). The performance of Okra contained drilling fluids was compared with starch-based drilling fluid. The addition of Okra reduced fluid loss in different proportions at different concentrations. For instance, drilling fluid with 3g Okra concentration had 42% lower fluid loss as compared to the base fluid. The cake thickness was reduced upon the addition of Okra. The low fluid loss and thin filter cake make Okra a useful solution as a fluid loss controller in WBDFs. The addition of Okra powder also increased the viscosity and gel strength of the WBDFs. TGA analysis of Okra powder showed that it has strong thermal stability as compared to starch. Overall, the experimental results suggest that Okra mixed drilling fluids can be used as an alternate solution to starch mixed drilling fluids.

The Impact

Summary Drilling technology in petroleum engineering is associated with problems such as high fluid loss, poor hole cleaning, and pipe sticking. Improvement of rheological and filtration properties of water-based drilling fluids (WDFs) plays a major role in resolving these drilling problems. The application of nanotechnology to WDF in the recent past has attracted much attention in addressing these drilling operations problems. In the present work, we investigate the application of natural aloe vera and CuO nanofluids combined as an additive in WDF to address the drilling problems. The nanofluids of three different concentrations of CuO nanoparticle (0.2, 0.4 , and 0.6 wt%) with aloe vera as a base fluid are prepared for this study by adopting a two-step method. The prepared nanofluids are characterized by their particle size and morphological characteristics. Conventional WDF (DF.0) is synthesized, and the prepared aloe-vera-based CuO nanofluid is added to the WDF to prepare nanofluid-enhancedwater-based drilling fluid (NFWDF) of different concentrations of nanoparticles, namely, 0.2 , 0.4, and 0.6 wt%. The prepared drilling fluid mixture is then characterized for its rheological and filtrate loss properties at various temperatures. Thermal stability and aging studies are performed for both WDF and NFWDF. The experimental results are then modeled using rheological models. The results reveal that aloe-vera-based CuO nanofluids improve the thermal stability and rheological properties of drilling fluid and significantly decrease the American Petroleum Institute (API) filtrate. Viscosity for WDF shows an approximately 61.7% decrease in heating up to 90°C. Further, the hot roll aging test causes a 63% decrease in the viscosity of WDF at 90°C. However, the addition of aloe-vera-based CuO nanofluids is found to aid in recovering the viscosities to a great extent. The fluid loss values before hot rolling are observed to be 6.6 mL after 30 minutes, whereas fluid loss values for the NFWDFs are found to be 5.9, 5.4, and 4.6 mL, respectively. The fluid loss value after hot rolling for the WDF is found to be 10.8 mL after 30 minutes, whereas fluid loss values for the NFWDFs are found to be 9.2, 8.5, and 7.7 mL, respectively. The rheological performance data of NFWDF project a better fit with the Herschel-Bulkley model and suggest improvement in rheological and filtration properties. There has been limited research work available in understanding the impact of aloe-vera-gel-based nanofluids in improving the performance of WDFs through the improvement of its rheological and filtration properties. This study aims to exploit the property of native aloe vera and CuO nanofluids combined together to enhance the rheological and filtration properties of WDF by conducting the tests both before and after hot rolling conditions. This study acts as an important precursor for developing novel additives for WDF to improve its rheological and filtration properties. This study is also expected to benefit the industry and solve the major challenges in deep-well drilling operations and high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) drilling operations.
