INVERT FLUID FLOCCULATION – A Novel Technique for Drilling Fluid Recycling
Solids control equipment at the rig site is used to remove rock cuttings or low-gravity solids (LGS) from drilling fluids to allow the fluid to return to the active system in a re-usable condition. Typical equipment, such as shakers and centrifuges, remove LGS particles greater than 5-7 microns. Build up of finer solids in the fluid can create problems for efficient drilling such as drillpipe s...
متن کاملFeasibility of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide as a Drilling Fluid for Deep Underbalanced Drilling Operations
Feasibility of drilling with supercritical carbon dioxide to serve the needs of deep underbalanced drilling operations has been analyzed. A case study involving underbalanced drilling to access a depleted gas reservoir is used to illustrate the need for such a research. For this well, nitrogen was initially considered as the drilling fluid. Dry nitrogen, due to its low density, was unable to ge...
متن کاملDeep drilling moves ahead
Deep-water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico could resume within weeks under a policy by the US government, which has come under increasing criticism from the oil industry and politicians in the region over the impact of the drilling halt and worries from scientists that the full impact has not yet been assessed. Oil and gas exploration in the gulf’s deep waters has been stopped since May, when Ob...
متن کاملThe great potential of nanomaterials in drilling & drilling fluid applications
The continuous development of global economy with decreasing in available hydrocarbon sources and increasing discovery and extraction costs due to decrease in-situ oil and gas reservoir, displays the necessity of using new techniques for the improve rate of penetration and productivity in well. Nanotechnology has already contributed significantly to technological advances in the energy industri...
