Evaluación del desempeño de un fluido de perforación base agua utilizando como densificante un aditivo no convencional mediante pruebas de laboratorio

The barite as a densifying additive presents some technical complications, mainly a phenomenon called Barite settlement, because it affects the original properties of the mud and as a consequence there are variations in density, which leads to circulation losses, pipe sticking, packing well, well instability, well control problems, uncertainty in record taking, among other operational problems. In order to find alternatives to this problem, the following investigation performed the evaluation of the performance of an unconventional additive as a densifying mineral product in a water-based drilling fluid through laboratory tests. This is how two polymeric muds were prepared: a base mud with 100% barite and a mud with 100% non-conventional additive at different densities, subsequently the respective laboratory tests of the muds under study were carried out under HPHT conditions, based on in the API RP 13B-1 standard, and finally the respective performance comparison was made between the non-conventional additive and the conventional barite, taking into account the study carried out in the scientific paper “High density drilling fluids for managed pressure drilling Vikrant Wagle ; Abdullah S. Al-Yami; Mohammad Aljubran; Hussain Al-Bahrani, Saudi Aramco, (2018) SPE-192248-MS”.
