Abstract:Injector wells comprise a small portion of the wells drilled globally; however, they pose unique drilling fluid challenges. Required for pressure support and production maximization, these wells can be costly if the desired level of injectivity cannot be achieved without first flowing them back. Traditional drill-in fluids (DIFs) contain starch and xanthan, the latter is known to impair injectivity due to its poor acid solubility. This paper describes the development of an aqueous reservoir drilling fluid targ… Show more
