“…Ismail et al [28] studied the applicability of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) and nanosilica as drilling fluid additives for improving the rheological and filtration characteristics as well as the lubricity of water-based drilling fluids. The results showed that addition of MWCNT and nanosilica improved the rheological properties such as plastic viscosity and yield point compared to that of the base fluid.…”

Nanomaterials are engineered materials with at least one dimension in the range of 1-100 nm. Nanofluids-nanoscale colloidal suspensions containing various nanomaterials-have distinctive properties and offer unprecedented potential for various sectors such as the energy, cosmetic, aerospace and biomedical industries. Due to their unique physico-chemical properties, nanoparticles are considered as very good candidates for smart drilling fluid formulation, i.e., fluids with tailor-made rheological and filtration properties. However, due to the great risk of adapting new technologies, their application in oil and gas industry is not, to date, fully implemented. Over the last few years, several researchers have examined the use of various nanoparticles, from commercial to custom made particles, to formulate drilling fluids with enhanced properties that can withstand extreme downhole environments, particularly at high pressure and high temperature (HP/HT) conditions. This article summarizes the recent progress made on the use of nanoparticles as additives in drilling fluids in order to give such fluids optimal rheological and filtration characteristics, increase shale stability and achieve wellbore strengthening. Type, size and shape of nanoparticles, volumetric concentration, addition of different surfactants and application of an external magnetic field are factors that are critically evaluated and are discussed in this article. The results obtained from various studies show that nanoparticles have a great potential to be used as drilling fluid additives in order to overcome stern drilling problems. However, there are still challenges that should be addressed in order to take full advantage of the capabilities of such particles. Finally the paper identifies and discusses opportunities for future research.

“…However, using MFC yielded an increase in the filter cake thickness and had a little effect on fluid loss. When using a combination of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) and nanosilica, improvements of plastic viscosity (PV) and yield point (YP) of the drilling fluid were found in addition to a fluid loss reduction [11]. The effect of adding nanofluids of copper oxide and zinc oxide NPs on the thermal and filtration properties of mud was also examined and compared with a microfluid enhanced drilling mud (MWBM).…”

Over the years, the discovery of petroleum in various regions of the world has led to the development of different techniques and equipment to enhance and optimize the drilling and production operations in this vital industry. Egypt is both one of the major oil-producing non-OPEC countries and one of the oldest energy producers in the Middle East. Recently, the Egyptian government have signed several agreements for the exploration of oil and gas in several provinces/regions including; the Mediterranean, the Western desert, the Nile Delta, and the Gulf of Suez. Petroleum companies have given great attention to Egypt's new discoveries such as Zohr Gas Field, and Nour exploration prospect. Successful drilling operations to reach the oil and gas targets depends strongly on the effectiveness of the drilling fluids. Drilling fluids can be considered as the heart of the drilling process. They are used to fulfil several functions, such as controlling pressure, carrying cuttings and cooling bit and drill strings, stabilizing wellbore as well as controlling fluid losses.Drilling fluid technology is one of the most targeted and developed technologies worldwide. Several studies have examined the use of various types of nanoparticles (NPs) as additives to enhance the properties and improve the performance of the drilling fluid to mitigate the drilling problems. NPs can be defined as a simplest structure with a size in the range of nanometers. The effectiveness of NPs can be accredited to their small sizes and thus, high surface-area-to-volume ratio. NPs were also showed promising enhancements on the rheological and filtration characteristics of the drilling fluid (mud). Additionally, swelling and collapse of shale formations is expected under drilling with water-based mud, which might result in complicating the drilling operation. Adding NPs to the drilling mud was found to minimize the shale permeability and thus, promote the wellbore stability.This research paper discusses the latest applications and presents the most valuable findings concerning the efficient use of NPs in the drilling fluid industry. Based on that, different recommendations are stated. This might help researchers to better understand NPs' functionality in this area of application and promote using NPs-based drilling muds as cost-effective and environmental-friendly fluids to drill the Egyptian oil and gas wells.

Analiza skuteczności działania dodatków smarnych na podstawie badań przeprowadzonych z użyciem symulatora wiercenia Grace M2200Artykuł przedstawia analizę skuteczności działania nowoczesnych środków smarnych w inhibitowanych płuczkach wiertniczych opartą na zachodzących zmianach wartości współczynnika tarcia przy zadawanej różnej koncentracji danego środka. W toku realizacji badań sprawdzono działanie czterech środków smarnych. Dodawane były one w koncentracji 0,5%, 1,0% oraz 1,5% do dwóch rodzajów płuczek wiertniczych: polimerowo-potasowej oraz glikolowo-potasowej. Badania skuteczności działania prowadzono poprzez pomiar współczynnika tarcia za pomocą aparatu Grace M2200 HPHT. Współczynnik tarcia określany był dla kontaktów stal-stal, stal-piaskowiec. Ponadto określono wpływ badanych środków na podstawowe parametry oraz właściwości inhibitacyjne płuczek wiertniczych.Słowa kluczowe: środki smarne, smarność, współczynnik tarcia, płuczka wiertnicza. Analysis of lubricity additives effectiveness based on research performed with the Grace M2200 drilling simulatorThe article presents an analysis of modern lubricity additives effectiveness in inhibited drilling fluids, based on the coefficient of friction value changes. Four lubricity additives were tested throughout the studies. They were added at concentrations of 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% for the two types of drilling fluids: polymer-potassium and glycol-potassium muds. The studies were conducted based on the measurement of the coefficient of friction using a Grace M2200 HPHT drilling simulator. The coefficient of friction was determined on steel-steel contact and steel-sandstone contact. In addition, the impact of the examined agents on the rheological parameters and inhibitive properties of drilling muds was determined.
