“…Rasool et al (2021) used FTIR spectra, and the result reflects the same functional group of −OH in both glycerol and the formulated DES. However, for glycerol, the peak was around 3292 cm –1 , which was reduced to the wavelength of 3277 cm –1 for the DES . So, this change in bond length corresponds to a change in electronegativity difference which reflects the new bond formation.…”

Inhibitors have evolved from their primary function of controlling swelling during hydraulic fracturing processes in shale reservoirs. This study provides a comprehensive review of recent deep eutectic solvent (DES) advancements as inhibitors in swelling inhibition techniques. The swelling inhibitory potentials and mechanisms of DESs have been studied analytically and compared to existing conventional inhibitors. The functional effects of concentration, temperature, and types of DES are explored. Data on the effect of DES on rheology, swelling, zeta potential, shale cutting recovery, surface tension, particle size distribution, XRD, and FTIR analyses are presented. Along with preparation procedures, environmental concerns and applications of DESs in several fields are discussed. This study suggests that DESs are preferable swelling inhibitors due to their inhibitory performance, cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness. Moreover, this review includes guidelines and recommendations for selecting and designing DES to inhibit swelling more effectively.

Shale hydration and expansion during drilling can lead to wellbore instability, sticking, and frequent leakage accidents. To prevent these issues, an ionic liquid (IL) inhibitor solution was synthesized using DL‐alanine and 98% concentrated sulphuric acid as raw materials. The optimum composition and effect of the synthesized inhibitor in oilfield water‐based drilling fluids were evaluated through anti‐expansion, linear expansion rate, water washing resistance, and clay hydration dispersion experiments. The inhibition mechanism was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis, infrared spectroscopy, zeta potential, contact angle, and X‐ray diffraction analysis. The results show that the optimum IL consists of a 1:1 molar ratio of DL‐alanine to concentrated sulphuric acid synthesized under a reaction temperature and time of 70°C and 18 h, respectively. The resulting DL‐alanine IL exhibited the best inhibitory effect on the hydration, dispersion, and expansion of clay at a concentration of 0.5% in aqueous solution, and its linear expansion rate was only 18.49%. After adding a quantitative amount of clay to different concentrations of DL‐alanine IL aqueous solution, the expansion volume of the clay decreased and the water washing resistance significantly improved. These results provide a theoretical basis for improving the safety and efficiency of shale horizontal well drilling operations.

Different additives are added in the drilling mud to increase its efficiency in terms of its rheology and filtration properties. Recently, the application of ionic liquids (ILs) has been exploited by various investigators as a drilling additive for improving the mud rheology. The more recent studies have shown that imidazolium-based ionic liquids (the most used class of ionic liquids in drilling fluids) are toxic. Moreover, the advancement in green chemistry has put a big question mark on the greener nature of ionic liquids because they are non-biodegradable and generally very expensive. Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are the non-toxic and cheaper alternative of ionic liquids possessing the same qualities as of ILs. In our previous work, we used potassium carbonate and glycerol-based DES as a drilling fluid additive. We found that DES has successfully improved the mud rheology and filtration properties of the mud. In this current study, various characterizations have been conducted to understand the underlying mechanism behind DES as a rheology modifier. The characterization shows the improvement in rheology is due to the intercalation of DES between alumino-silicate layers and interaction of DES with clay which alters edge to face orientation of sodium bentonite and ultimately its dispersion behaviour. The addition of DES decreases average grain size and disperses the clay particles in mud slurry which reduce the overall permeability and porosity of the filter cake thus improving the filtration behaviour of the mud. Moreover, the behaviour of DES based mud is modelled at 25 °C and 100 °C which shows DES-based mud follows Herschel–Buckley model and exhibits shear thinning behaviour even at elevated temperature.
