“…Intramolecular/intermolecular hydrogen bonding and/or the hydrophobically correlating connections between the intra/intermolecular associations. The pseudoplastic behavior of the HAPAM polymer solutions, which is characteristic of a non-Newtonian fluid and frequently employed by chemical flooding agents [51], is evident in Figure 4. Since n = 0.5 for the C solution indicated that since these fluids maintained their viscosity and strength despite being non-Newtonian (pseudo plastic), they are excellent EOR options for polymer flooding projects.…”

In this study, hydrophobic associative polyacrylamide (HAPAM) was used in conjunction with the chemical flooding technique in a low-permeability carbonates reservoir. To test the efficacy of the proposed method, both a model and an experiment were created. Experiments were run to compare the relative permeability (Kr) curves, oil recovery rates, and rheological, physical, aging time, and petrophysical features of brine water and polymer flooding in a core. The purpose of these tests was to show how HAPAM can be used to boost oil recovery. Computer Modelling Group (CMG), a simulator, was then used. An oil-and-brine (or HAPAM solution) grid in three dimensions (3D) was developed. The validity of the suggested simulator was established by comparing its results to those obtained from commercial software and from most of the brine or polymer flooding experiments. The developed simulator was used to undertake additional research into the non-Newtonian flow of brine or polymer solution in porous media. The experimental consequences indicated that the polymer solution has a shear thinning viscosity curve and flow behavior index. Shear thinning, viscosity, shear resistance, aging time, density, surface tension, and interfacial tension, and the water wet relative permeability curve are all improved by the adding 1500 ppm HAPAM to brine water. Moreover, oil recovery was about 80%. There was a strong agreement between the results of the modeling study and the experiments.

Polymeric surfactants are a special class of the polymers that have amphiphilic characteristics of surfactants. In selective solvents, polymeric surfactants exhibit interesting association processes and develop self‐assembled structures. Their capacity to create micellar aggregates with stimuli‐responsive behavior in aqueous solutions, enables the creation of smart materials for many applications. The only restrictions to the creation of polymeric surfactants with complicated structures using current synthetic methods are the researchers' interests and creativity. The chemical structure of the polymer and its aqueous solution characteristics (viscosity and surface tension) should be demonstrated as having a distinct and commonly accepted connection. Unavailability of systematic and updated review on these important molecules demands a comprehensive compilation and consistent discussion on key physical aspects, characterization, synthetic techniques, and their useful applications like enhanced recovery of oil, antimicrobial potential, water treatment, pharmaceutical, etc.

Efficient hole cleaning during drilling operations is critical to maintain a high rate of penetration and smooth drilling, leading to minimum drilling problems and economical drilling efficiency. This process involves several important factors, including pipe-sticking incidents, higher cuttings concentrations in the annulus, noisy vibration of the drill string, erratic equivalent circulating density, lost circulation incidents, well control incidents, geomechanical hole section instability, tight spots during tripping operations, and excessive usage of chemical additives for conditioning hole sections and mud. Various approaches, including correlations, methodologies, developments, algorithms, equipment, charts, field experience, chemicals, and studies involving experiments, can be used to enhance the efficiency of hole cleaning. The development of hole-cleaning models is important for use as hole-cleaning indicators to ensure optimized drilling efficiency. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the complex field of hole cleaning in the oil and gas industry. It includes techniques, tools, models, and chemical additives. It also encompasses drilling engineering, operations, and chemistry. To facilitate the transit of drill cuttings, maintain hole section stability, cool and lubricate the drill bit, and transmit hydraulic horsepower, this article outlines the important roles of drilling fluids. The significance of chemical additives, including nanoparticles, natural and modified polymers, and synthetic polymers, in preserving wellbore stability, improving drilling efficiency, and lowering drill bit wear is also covered in the study. It concludes by making recommendations for further study to clarify hole cleaning for the reader to facilitate and boost drilling efficiency.
