The rheological characteristics of four polymer melts (PS, PMMA, PP and HDPE) are investigated by a capillary rheometer with the die diameters from 1.5mm to 0.5mm.The effects of temperature on shear viscosity and the effects of both temperature and shear rate on non-Newton exponent of melts are discussed when the die diameter is 0.5mm. The results show that the shear viscosity of four polymers decreases with the rise of shear rate. The shear viscosity of PS and PMMA increases with the decrease of die diameter, the shear viscosity of PP and HDPE decreases with die diameter and minute differences of shear viscosity with different die diameters are observed with the growth of shear rate. When the die diameter is 0.5mm, Arrhenius equation is found to be suitable to describe the relations between shear viscosity and temperature for four polymer melts. The non-Newton exponents of four polymer melts increase with the temperature and decrease with the rise of shear rate.

Capillary rheometers have been widely used for the rheological measurement of polymer melts. However, when micro capillary dies are used, the results are usually neither accurate nor consistent, even under the same measurement conditions. In this work, theoretical modeling and experimental studies were conducted for a more profound understanding of the mechanism by which the initial and boundary conditions influence the inaccuracy in the apparent shear viscosity determination with micro capillary dies (diameters: 500 μm, 200 μm, 100 μm). The results indicate that the amount of polymer initially in the barrel, the pre-compaction pressure and the capillary die diameter have a significant influence on the development of the micro scale inlet pressure, which directly determines the accuracy of the measurement at low and medium shear rates. The varying melt compressibility was confirmed to be the main factor directly related to the inaccuracy in the micro scale apparent shear viscosity determination. It is suggested that measures such as reducing the amount of polymer initially in the barrel and increasing the pre-compaction pressure could be used to reduce the measurement inaccuracy.

Summary Determining the rheology of drilling fluid under subsurface conditions—that is, pressure > 103.4 MPa (15,000 psi) and temperature > 450 K (350°F)—is very important for safe and trouble-free drilling operations of high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) wells. As the severity of HP/HT wells increases, it is challenging to measure downhole rheology accurately. In the absence of rheology measurement tools under HP/HT conditions, it is essential to develop an accurate rheological model under extreme conditions. In this study, temperature- and pressure-dependence rheology of drilling fluids [i.e., shear viscosity, apparent viscosity (AV), and plastic viscosity (PV)] are predicted at HP/HT conditions using the fundamental momentum transport mechanism (i.e., kinetic theory) of liquids. Drilling fluid properties (e.g., density, thermal decomposition temperature, and isothermal compressibility), and Fann® 35 Viscometer (Fann Instrument Corporation, Houston, USA) readings at surface conditions, are the only input parameters for the proposed HP/HT shear viscosity model. The proposed model has been tested using 26 different types of HP/HT drilling fluids, including water, formate, oil, and synthetic oil as base fluids. The detailed error and the sensitivity analysis have been performed to demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed model and yield comparative results. The proposed model is quite simple and may be applied to accurately predict the rheology of numerous drilling fluids. In the absence of subsurface rheology under HP/HT conditions, the proposed viscosity model may be used as a reliable soft-sensor tool for the online monitoring and control of rheology under downhole conditions while drilling HP/HT wells.
