Utilization of indigenous pH control agents for drilling fluid preparation

Drilling fluid pH is an important factor in drilling and production operations. If the acidic, this will cause metallic parts such as string casings to corrode. Also, much more additives be needed achieve right rheological properties. In work, suitability of agro waste oil palm fruit fibre, ripe plantain peels unripe control agents was studied. The materials were gotten from local sources subjected drying, burning filtration. filtrates obtained used treat water based mud. It found that fibre solution raised 8, while solutions values 10 respectively. Laboratory test for sodium potassium contents on locally prepared showed significantly higher concentrations peel solution, thereby making it most suitable a agent compared others.
