Barite is an important additive material to increase the weight of excavation mud. It has been used extensively in the excavation mud industry. The barite particle sizes used in excavation mud is very important. There is a direct relationship between the amount on the sift of 200 and 325 mesh. By reducing particle sizes of the 200 and 325 mesh, the specific gravity of the barite power increased...

Drilling fluid is the most important lifeline of the drilling operation, that main task is facilitate the cuttings removal of the drilling. There are varieties of drilling fluids such as sodium bentonite based-drilling fluid is called “mud” and drilling foam or surfactant based-drilling fluid is called “soap”. The present work aims are study on the modified drilling mud properties by using the ...

It is estimated that the total number of submarine mud volcanoes is between 1000 and 100 000. Because many are associated with greenhouse gases, such as methane, it is argued that the global flux of these gases to the atmosphere from the world’s terrestrial and submarine mud volcanoes is highly significant. Clues to the processes forming submarine mud volcanoes can be found in variations to the...

designing drilling fluids for drilling in deep gas reservoirs and geothermal wells is a majorchallenge. cooling drilling fluids and preparing stable mud with high thermal conductivity are ofgreat concern. drilling nanofluids, i.e. a low fraction of carbon nanotube (cnt) well dispersed inmud, may enhance the mixture thermal conductivity compared to the base fluids. thus, they arepotentially usef...

The rheological and filtration properties of drilling mud under down-hole conditions may be very different from those measured at ambient pressures and temperatures at the surface. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation into the temperature and salinity and pH effects on drilling mud rheological and filtration properties. Results are given from tests on water base mud ...

Mud volcanoes, ranging in size between 50cm and 800m high, are found both on land and in submarine environments. Their variation in height and shape reflects the driving forces building them and the physical properties of their materials. The driving force behind the construction of mud volcanoes is overpressure of fluidised mud at depth within the sediment column. Although some component of ov...

A theory is presented for the mass transport induced by a small-amplitude progressive wave propagating in water over a thin layer of viscoelastic mud modelled as a Voigt medium. Based on a sharp contrast in length scales near the bed, the boundary-layer approximation is applied to the Navier–Stokes equations in Lagrangian form, which are then solved for the first-order oscillatory motions in th...

maybe viscosity in drilling fluid is the most important parameter because cutting removal from well are task of viscose fluid. if viscosity of fluid is less than particular value, cutting will settle down in well and drilling operation will be stopped. in this study, synthesis of alumina/polyacrylamide nanocomposite through solution polymerization method was performed. rheological behavior of m...
