“…For instance, WBDFs usually require high viscosity at low‐shear rates to suspend and carry drilling cuttings out of the wellbore. Whereas at high‐shear rates, the low viscosity of WBDFs can make the fluid flow into the bottom hole with less flow resistance, which can break the rocks at an extremely high velocity 3,20 . In this section, four rheological models were used to study the rheological behavior of WBDFs at various dosage of PSDI.…”

Synthetic copolymers as filtrate reducers for water‐based drilling fluids (WBDFs) are difficult to meet the needs of drilling engineering only by changing the type and proportion of functional groups of copolymers, especially under ultra‐high temperature and high salinity. In this study, an anionic terpolymer (named PSDI) with rigid side chain was synthesized using sodium p‐styrenesulfonate, N, N‐Dimethylacrylamide, and itaconic acid by free‐radical copolymerization. The chemical structure of PSDI was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and 1H‐NMR spectrum. The high‐temperature/high‐pressure filtration loss (FLHTHP) and the American Petroleum Institute filtration loss (FLAPI) of the WBDFs containing 1.5 wt/vol% PSDI were 35.0 and 17.0 ml after thermal rolling at 240°C for 16 h, respectively. The FLHTHP and FLAPI of the WBDFs containing saturated NaCl were with control of 60.0 and 12.0 ml. The FLAPI of WBDFs containing 1.5 wt/vol% CaCl2 reduced to 6.0 ml. Results indicate that the addition of PSDI can improve the anti‐high‐temperature performance and resistance to salt and calcium contamination of WBDFs. Results of rheological tests through fitting four rheological models suggest that rheological parameters can be improved as a result of forming the spatial network structure between the PSDI and bentonite flakes.

“…Interestingly, success stories abound in the use of nanoparticles as drilling mud additives (Guan et al., 2018; Hoelscher et al., 2012). The basic reason for this shift is due to the fact that most of the conventional mud filter loss control materials are thermally unstable and degrade at high temperatures (Igwe and Kinate, 2015; Thomas, 1982); whereas nanomaterials materials have the potential to overcome this challenge due to their excellent physiochemical, hydrodynamic and high stability at elevated temperatures (Dejtaradon et al., 2019; Perween et al., 2019). Beyond this, the very fine nature (in terms of size) of nanomaterials and their high specific surface area implies that very low concentrations of nanomaterials can cause great enhancement in mud properties (Amanullah and Ramasamy, 2018).…”

“…This would ultimately lead to an overall reduction in the cost of the mud. In a specific instances, mud fluid loss decreases with addition of the nanomaterials such as ZnO, CuO and Nanosilica in WBMs (Mikhienkova et al., 2018; Dejtaradon et al., 2019; Katende et al., 2019) A good summation of existing works and the cumulative evidence gleaned from literature on using agro materials as filter loss control agents in drilling muds has greatly underscored the strength of agro materials being useful as fluid loss control agents in drilling muds (Agwu and Akpabio, 2018). However, many questions arise as to the effectiveness of these agro materials as filter loss control agents in the field.…”

When drilling with water based muds (WBM), significant fluid loss volumes from the mud into the formation can have adverse effects not just on the mud and its properties but also on the stability of the wellbore. Prevention of mud filter loss is one way of assessing the performance of a drilling mud. However, evaluation of the effectiveness or otherwise of a fluid loss control additive can be made by characterizing the mud cake formed. Interestingly, the mud cake characterization is one area that has been somewhat neglected in drilling fluid formulation with agro waste materials. Two cellulosic materials - rice husk and saw dust were chosen for the experimental study. The specie of the rice husk used was the African rice (Oryza glaberrima) while the dust from the saw milling of Oxystigma manni was utilized for this study. To ensure result acceptability, the rice husk and saw dust were ground and the resulting products were sieved to 1.25 × 10 −4 m. The filtration characteristics of the formulated mud samples were tested using the American Petroleum Institute (API) filter press and in accordance to the API recommended practice for field testing WBMs. From the filter loss tests, it was observed that the ground rice husk prevented filter loss by an average of 77% compared to ground saw dust filtration control of 63%. In addition, it was observed that at higher concentrations, ground saw dust and rice husk prevented fluid loss to the minimum acceptable API standard. For the filter cake thickness measured in millimetres, ground rice husk exhibited thicker mud cakes when compared with the saw dust by an average amount of 14%. For the mud cake characteristics, the rice husk mud exhibited smooth and slippery cakes while the saw dust mud exhibited rough texture, sticky and firm cakes.

The development of high‐temperature and salt‐resistant filtrate reducer is of great significance to the exploitation of deep and ultra‐deep wells. In this study, Zwitterionic copolymer PANDS was synthesized by free radical polymerization using acrylamide (AM), N‐vinylpyrrolidone (NVP), methacryloxyethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (DMC) and sodium p‐styrene sulfonate (SSS) as monomers. Through orthogonal test, the optimum synthesis conditions were determined as follows: n (AM): n (NVP): n (SSS): n (DMC) = 3.5:2:0.5:0.5, the reaction temperature is 50°C, the initiator concentration is 0.4 wt%. The structure and thermal stability of the copolymers were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H‐NMR) and thermogravimetry (TG). In addition, the filtration reduction performance of PANDS was evaluated according to the American Petroleum Institute (API) standard. The mechanism of reducing filtration loss was studied by laser particle size analysis, Zeta potential and scanning electron microscope analysis of mud cake. The results show that PANDS has good temperature resistance and good filtrate loss reduction. With the addition of 1.5%PANDS, the filtrate loss of drilling fluid is 8.7 mL after aging at 160°C for 16 h, and can resist 6 wt% NaCl and 1 wt% CaCl2.
