Abstract:Encapsulated acids can increase the rate of penetration (ROP) during drilling operations by reacting with carbonate formations while avoiding corrosion of the metallic equipment parts. Drilling fluids can carry particles containing acid to the drilling tip where they will be mashed, and the acid released. The paraffin encapsulation is used in the processing of food ingredients, flavors, chemicals, drugs, protection of cosmetics, and in the oil industry. The novel solution presented in this paper is to use para… Show more
