Due to significant variations of the subsurface geology from the surface to the top of reservoir and requirement of different fluid characteristics for drilling various hole there is a need to use various mud systems. These may include a simple spud mud for surface hole section, an inhibitive drilling fluid for reactive shale section, a salt water-based mud for salt diapirs and salt formations, and a highly lubricating mud for deviated hole sections with high dogleg severity.To optimize each of these separate and distinct scenarios, there is a need to change the mud system while drilling to overcome the technical challenges associated with these formations and wellbore profiles. The change over from one mud system to another is typically done between casing points while constructing the well to overcome specific drilling challenges associated with next whole section.There is significant time and effort required to clean the mud circulation system adequately before a mud change over in order to avoid any contamination of the new mud system.This is especially true when displacing a waterbased mud by an oil-based mud or an oil-based mud by a water-based mud.If this is not done properly, contamination of the new mud by the old mud could be a source of major problems due to partial or complete loss of functional ability of the new mud system. An adaptable drilling mud system that can easily be transformed from a spud mud system to an inhibitive, or a high lubricating or a salt water mud can provide the industry a versatile fluid system with multiple hole section applications.This removes much of the NPT associated with mud changeover, reduces the mud cost as compared to mixing a totally new mud system and eliminates concerns regarding mud contamination as well as any disposal or recycling cost for the replaced system. This paper describes a volcanic ash-based drilling mud that can be used as a spud mud to drill the surface hole, can easily be converted to an inhibitive mud system to drill reactive shale sections of a borehole, a salt water-based mud to drill the salt sections and also a high lubricating water-based drilling mud to reduce torque and drag problems in deviated and horizontal boreholes. The flexible and easily convertible nature of the base volcanic ash-based drilling mud has potential to reduce total drilling cost significantly as it eliminates a significant portion of non-productive drilling time associated with mud changeover, cleaning of mud circulation system, new mud preparation, incorporation of new mud in the circulation system and displacement of the old mud from the borehole by the new mud, etc.

Summary Drilling fluid rheology and fluid loss property are fundamental parameters that dictate the effectiveness and easiness of a drilling operation. Maintaining these parameters under high temperatures is technically challenging and has been an exciting research area for the drilling industry. Nonetheless, the use of drilling mud additives, particularly synthetic polymers, threaten ecological environments. Herein, modified corn starch (MCS) was synthesized, characterized, and investigated as an environmentally friendly rheology enhancer and filtration loss controlling agent for water-based mud (WBM) at high temperatures. The experimental results indicated that MCS exhibits better performance in improving rheological properties and fluid loss controlling ability for WBM than the commonly used mud additives. With the addition of an optimal concentration (0.3 wt%), MCS improved the rheology and fluid loss behavior of WBM formulation at harsh aging temperature (220°C) by practically 4 times and 1.7 times, respectively. The MCS was revealed to perform superbly over polyanionic cellulose (PAC) addition at all investigated temperatures. The better performance of the MCS was ascribed to the improved entanglements in the mud system owing to the additional hydroxyl (OH) groups. Besides, the Herschel-Bulkley model was found to be a constitutive model that described the rheological properties of the investigated muds satisfactorily. Moreover, the MCS was found to exhibit acceptable biodegradability properties.
