Effect of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes on the Water-Based Drilling Muds

Abstract

This study aims to investigate of the effect of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) that production by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on the performance of water-based drilling muds (WBDM). MWCNT was added to WBDM at 0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05 and 0.1 % w/v. The rheological properties of the MWCNTs added drilling fluid were determined according to the API standarts. The drilling muds at different ratios of MWCNTs addition are compared with each other, it is found that 0.1 % of MWCNTs added drilling mud has the best properties.

Çok Duvarlı Karbon Nanotüplerin Su Bazlı Sondaj Çamurlarına Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, kimyasal buhar biriktirme yöntemi (CVD) ile üretilen çok-duvarlı karbon nanotüplerin (MWCNTs), su bazlı sondaj çamurlarının (WBDM) performansı üzerine  etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. 0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05 and 0.1 % w/v oranında MWCNTs eklenmiş WBDM’lerin reolojik özellikleri API standartlarına göre tespit edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçları MWCNTs’nin iyi bir katkı maddesi olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca farklı oranlarda MWCNTs eklemesi sonucu elde edilen WBDM’ler kendi içlerinde karşılaştırıldığında, en iyi katkılama oranının % 0.1 w/v olduğu görülmüştür.
