Drilling fluid pH is an important factor in drilling and production operations. If the acidic, this will cause metallic parts such as string casings to corrode. Also, much more additives be needed achieve right rheological properties. In work, suitability of agro waste oil palm fruit fibre, ripe plantain peels unripe control agents was studied. The materials were gotten from local sources subje...

The increasing global energy demand has pushed the oil industry towards developing more innovative and advanced methods of enhancing oil recovery even under unfavourable technical and environmental conditions. The severity of many operational problems affecting the drilling and production of oil and gas wells is worsened by inaccessibility; hence, remedial efforts must be implemented from afar....

Summary Our objective is to present selected rheological and mechanical properties of rock-based geopolymers contaminated with different concentrations drilling fluids. The possible flash setting the maximum intake fluids before seeing a dramatic deterioration are presented. Rock-based designed for cementing conductor surface casing were prepared cured up 28 days at 22°C atmospheric pressure. W...
