EFFECT OF ADDITIVES ON THE RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF DRILLING FLUID SUSPENSION FORMULATED BY BENTONITE WITH WATER
要約
There is a continuous need to search for good additives which can contribute to the favorable rheology of drilling fluids. In the present investigation, the effect of an indigenous gum called babool tree gum has been explored with regard to the rheological properties of the water–bentonite suspension, which is the base suspension for most of the water-based drilling fluids. Its effect has been compared with the additions of bentonite, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and barite. Various samples were prepared by addition of the CMC, babool tree gum, and barite in the water–bentonite suspensions (of varying amounts of the bentonite). The study has been conducted experimentally using the locally manufactured Marsh funnel of standard dimensions. Various plots of the drainage time versus volume flow rate, consistency curves, apparent viscosity, and the bar chart of the rheological properties have been presented to display the results. Sample combinations have been taken in such a manner that the effect of the various additives can be observed. From this investigation, it can be concluded that the babool tree gum, which is abundantly available in India and is also quite inexpensive, can be placed as a good alternative along with coadditives with the CMC and other additives of the drilling fluid to enhance its rheological properties.
