Item Optimization of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) utilized in water-based mud while drilling(MDPI, 2023) Sid, Asma Nour El Houda; Kouini, Benalia; Bezzekhami, Mohammed Amin; Toumi, Selma; Ouchak, Khadidja; Benfarhat, Sara; Tahraoui, Hichem; Kebir, Mohammed; Amrane, Abdeltif; Assadi, Aymen Amine; Zhang, Jie; Mouni, LotfiWater-soluble polymers are becoming increasingly important in various applications, such as stabilizer fluids and drilling muds. These materials are used as viscosifiers and filtration control agents, flocculants, and deflocculants due to their superior properties in increasing viscosity and gelling ability in the presence of crosslinkers. In general, studying the rheological behavior of drilling fluids is of paramount importance to ensure successful well drilling operations. Partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide is one of the polymers widely used in water-based muds. The main objective of this study is to optimize the rheological properties of drilling muds through a characterization study of various parameters, including rheological behavior, viscosity, temperature (23 °C, 40 °C, and 60 °C), salinity using KCl and NaCl contents, aging, pH, solubility, and structural analysis using infrared of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide. The study aims to demonstrate the importance of using polymers in drilling muds. The findings revealed that a rate of 3% of HPAM gave better rheological behavior, the influence of KCl (1.5%, 3%, and 4.5%) was greater than that of NaCl (1.5%, 3%, and 4.5%) on polymers, and the aging test showed that the different formulations are stable and maintain their behavior up to 110 °C. The solubility test results confirmed the maximum amount absorbed by polyacrylamide ([CHPAM] = 66.42 g/L) in order to avoid aggregation, gelification, and enhance the drilling mud by utilizing the prescribed contentsItem An ecological water‑based drilling mud (WBM) with low cost: substitution of polymers by wood wastes(Springer, 2019) Haider, Soumia; Messaoud‑Boureghda, Mohamed‑Zine; Aknouche, Hamid; Akkouche, Ali; Hammadi, Larbi; Safi, BrahimAn ecologically friendly water-based drilling mud (WBM) was designed by using wood wastes (WP: wood powder) in order to substitute the organic polymers which are very expensive and often make the higher cost of the oil well drilling. This present work is dedicated on studying the rheological behavior and main rheological properties of WBM containing the wood powder at different contents and sizes by substitution of usually used polymers. The effect of wood powder on the drilling fluid filtrate was also analyzed. The drilling fluid that was developed has better rheological properties and fluid loss control which are required for a good functioning of oil well drilling. By a total substitution of polymers, the wood powder (300 μm at 850 kg/m3) can be used as a filtrate reducer of mud because the WBM filtrate obtained exhibits a minimum and having requested values for such formationItem Influence of the flow characteristics and mud physical properties on the Perfor-mance of a drilling turbine(2021) Sahnoune, Khaled; Benbrik, Abderrahmane; Mansour, Ahmed S.; Moderres, MouradFor turbo drilling machine operations, several types of drilling mud can be used. The major factors influencing the choice of drilling fluid are: Cost, ecological impact, and the technical performance of the machine. Water-based drilling mud is widely used in drilling turbines. It consists of freshwater with additives such as sand. These added materials will influence the properties of the mud, increasing the density, and changing the rheological properties. In this present work, the influence of the physical properties of the drilling mud (density, viscosity), and flow conditions (mass flow rate) on the performance and flow characteristics of a specified turbodrill Model is investigated. For this purpose, the computational fluid dynamics approach was used to simulate the flow inside one stage of the considered turbine. Various values of mass flow rate, density, and viscosity were tested. A very good agreement was found between the experimental measurements of the manufacturer and the current simulation results for the performance curvesItem Modeling and rheological characterization of sludge based drilling oil(2014) Mellak, Abderrahmane; Benyounes, KhaledWhen the drilling mud is in contact with more or less permeable walls of the well, the liquid filter part in the formation by depositing on the walls of the solid part is called the cake (silty clay film). Among the main functions of drilling fluid include keeping the walls of the well due to the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the flowing fluid. Also, the mastery of the rheological properties of the mud used is required. . The rheological characterization focus on the drilling mud used for drilling the 121/4 phase in the well AY (Hassi Messaoud) is an invert emulsion mud with oil report / water 85/15 and its density is 2.04, consisting essentially of gas oil, organophilic clay, two emulsions, sodium chloride and barite. It would define the rheological model of drilling fluid used and seek the most suitable rheological model. The rheological tests were carried out using a Fann viscometer 6-speed (3, 6, 100, 200,300 and 600 rpm) to determine the rheological properties of the mud as the yield value or yield stress, the plastic viscosity and apparent viscosity. Other rheological parameters such as the consistency index (k) and the behavior index (n) of the mud were estimated. The results show that the Herschel-Bulkley model is a minimal deviation from other models (model Bingham and Ostwald de Waele or Power)Item Comparative study of biopolymers action on physico-chemical and rheological properties of water-based drilling muds(Chemical Publishing, 2014) Bentriou, Abdelhak; Fourar, Karim; Benmounah, Abdelbaki; Safi, Brahim
