“…The fluids need very high densities, and the formate salts of alkali metals can be used for such purposes. Many additives have been reported in literature [1,2] to impart the required properties to the drilling fluids. The formats of potassium (KCOOH), sodium (Na-COOH), and caesium formate monohydrate (CsCOOH-H20) are the commonly used as drilling and completion fluids owing to their very high solubility in water and their ability to result in high density fluids.…”

Formate based fluids are environmentally friendly and biodegradable drilling fluids that are compatible and solid free, contributing to eliminate formation damage. In this regard, they find their application in drilling fluids, as well as in completion fluids. In this work, three potassium formate based fluids of different concentrations such as 40, 50, 60 % w/w and water-based fluid (WBF) are prepared with help of additives namely, calcium carbonate, xanthan gum and ethylene glycol. The consistent performance of a drilling, completion or workover fluid is very much necessary for successful and economical drilling, completion or workover operation. Hence the synthesized fluid samples with various concentrations of potassium based fluids are analyzed for their rheological behavior at various temperatures and a function of time.

“…Though a variety of nanoparticles (NPs) have been synthesized [15], their application in petroleum exploration and production is less studied. Some researchers have explored the nanofluid application in improving drilling fluid characteristics [16,17]. Further, NPs are reported to contribute to wettability alteration and Interfacial Tension (IFT) reduction in EOR process.…”

Polymer-based chemical enhanced oil recovery methods, while overcoming the disadvantages of conventional waterflooding such as viscous fingering, have performance issues in saline and high temperature conditions that can be addressed through the application of nanotechnology. In the present work, a nanofluid prepared from copper oxide (PHPA) is explored in order to improve the oil recovery efficiency. The prepared nanofluid is analyzed for its rheological performance at various additive concentrations, salinities and for temperatures ranging from 25 to 100 C. The analysis predicts the nanofluid to exhibit a significant improvement in its rheological properties with resistance to saline and temperature conditions.
