  • evaluation of polyacrylamide grafted polyethylene glycol silica nanocomposite as potential additive in water based drilling mud for reactive shale formation
    Journal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering, 2015
    Co-Authors: Rajat Jain, Vikas Mahto, V. P. Sharma
    Abstract:

    Abstract This research work discusses the feasibility of polyacrylamide-grafted-polyethylene glycol/SiO 2 nanocomposite as a potential additive for the drilling of troublesome shale formations which may lead to severe wellbore instability problems. The free radical polymerization technique was adopted for the synthesis of the nanocomposite and it was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Then, it was utilized in the formulation of the water based drilling mud system. Its effect on the rheological parameters and Filtration Control characteristics of the developed mud system was analyzed thoroughly as per API standard procedures. In addition, its shale inhibition characteristic was investigated with hot rolling shale dispersion tests, and immersion test. Further, Core flooding tests were carried out to study the formation damage caused by developed drilling fluid system. The experimental investigations revealed that synthesized nanocomposite exhibited superior shale inhibition property. The nanocomposite acted synergistically with other additives in the developed system and furnished good rheological properties & Filtration characteristics. It also exhibited low formation damage, high shale recovery, and high thermal stability than the partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA) polymer in the developed drilling mud system. Hence, this nanocomposite may be used as a potential drilling fluid additive in the water based drilling fluid system for shale formations.

  • Study the effect of polymers on the stability and rheological properties of oil-in-water (O/W) Pickering emulsion muds
    Korea-Australia Rheology Journal, 2018
    Co-Authors: Vikas Mahto, Vinod Kumar Saxena
    Abstract:

    A new type of oil-in-water (O/W) Pickering emulsion systems, which were prepared by polymers such as xanthan gum, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and sodium lignosulfonate have been investigated for their properties as multifunctional emulsion muds with respect to rheological Control and Filtration Control properties. Diesel oil was used as dispersed phase and KCl-brine as continuous phase in the developed emulsions. Initially, rheological parameters like apparent viscosity, plastic viscosity, gel strength, and Filtration Control properties were measured using recommended practices. Emulsion stability was analyzed using steady state shear stress-shear rate and oscillatory (dynamic) rheological measurement techniques. The emulsions were found to exhibit shear-thinning (pseudoplastic) behavior. Experiments conducted for oscillatory rheological measurements have shown that emulsions are stable as per the stability criteria G' (elastic modulus) > G'' (loss modulus) and both are independent of changing ω (Frequency). These fluids have shown stable properties upto 70°C which shows that they can be used as drilling muds for drilling oil and gas wells.
