Abstract

Sondaj operasyonlarında sondaj sıvısı için verimli bir akış geliştirmek oldukça önemlidir. Bu amaçla, kuyu içindeki akış özelliklerini düzenlemek için birçok organik ve inorganik katkı maddesi kullanılmaktadır. Ancak, kuyu planlamasında ekonomik, çevre dostu ve verimli katkı maddeleri kullanılmak istenmektedir. Bu nedenle son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalarda bu yeni maddeler araştırılmakta ve geliştirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, yeni bir viskozite artırıcı katkı malzemesi olarak mikrokristalin selüloz (MCC) su bazlı sondaj sıvıları için değerlendirilmiştir. Karakterizasyonlar X-ışını kırınımı (XRD), flourier transform infrared spektroskopisi (FT-IR) yöntemleri ve dijital mikroskopi (DM) görüntüleri ile belirlenmiştir. Deneysel çalışmalarda, su bazlı sondaj çamurları farklı oranlarda MCC kullanılarak hazırlanmıştır. Reoloji testleri Görünür viskozite (AV), plastik viskozite (PV) ve kopma noktası (YP) ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Ayrıca tiksotropi hesaplamaları (STI ve TI) ve filtrasyon ölçümleri yapılmıştır. MCC eklenmiş numunelerin sonuçlarına göre, maksimum AV, PV ve YP sırasıyla 43 cP, 16 cP ve 54 lb/100ft2 olarak ölçülmüştür. Optimal STI ve TI değerleri sırasıyla 0.1 ve 0.915 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Minimum filtrat 11,9 ml olarak elde edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, MCC'nin su bazlı sondaj çamurları üzerinde etkili bir viskozlaştırıcı katkı maddesi olduğunu göstermiştir.

Evaluation of Microcrystalline Cellulose as Viscosifier Agent in Water-Based Drilling Fluids

Abstract

Developing an efficient flow for drilling fluid is important in drilling operations. For this purpose, a lot of organic and inorganic additive agents are used to regulate for flow properties in wellbore. However, cheaply, eco-friendly and efficiently agents are desired in well planning. Thus, new agents have been researching and developing in recent studies. In this study, a new viscosifier agent, which is microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), was evaluated for water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs). Characterizations were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) flourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) methods and digital microscopy (DM) images. In the experiments, WBDFs were prepared by using different ratios of MCC. Rheology tests were performed by Apparent viscosity (AV), plastic viscosity (PV), yield point (YP) measurements. Thixotropy calculations (STI and TI) and filtration measurements were made. According to results of MCC added samples, maximum AV, PV and YP were measured as 43 cP, 16 cP and 54 lb/100ft2, respectively. The best STI and TI values were calculated as 0.1 and 0.915. Minimum filtrate was obtained as 11.9 ml. Results showed that MCC is effective viscosifier agent on WBDFs.
