Abstract

Drilling operations are very important for production and utilization of primary energy resources and directly interacting with drilling fluid. Therefore, efficient drilling fluid is required for successful drilling. The flow properties of drilling fluid vary depending on many parameters, especially filtration properties. In this study, investigated the usability of commercial quartz sand as a filtration-reducing additive material in water-based drilling fluids. In the experimental studies, spud-type drilling fluids were prepared suitable for drilling applications, and then quartz sands were added at different ratios (0.25-0.50-1.0-1.5-2.0 wt.%). Then, filtration measurements were performed at different times (15-30-60 min). As a result of the measurements, it has been determined that quartz sand has a significant filtration-reducing effect and can be used in spud-type drilling fluids.

Özet

Sondaj işlemleri, birincil enerji kaynaklarının üretimi ve kullanımı için çok önemlidir ve sondaj sıvısı ile doğrudan etkileşim halindedir. Bu nedenle, başarılı bir sondaj için verimli bir sondaj sıvısı gereklidir. Sondaj sıvısının akış özellikleri, filtrasyon özellikleri başta olmak üzere birçok parametreye bağlı olarak değişmektedir. Bu çalışmada, ticari kuvars kumunun su bazlı sondaj sıvılarında filtrasyon azaltıcı bir katkı malzemesi olarak kullanılabilirliği araştırılmıştır. Deneysel çalışmalarda, sondaj uygulamalarına uygun spud tipi sondaj sıvıları hazırlanmış ve ardından kuvars kumları farklı oranlarda (ağırlıkça %0,25-0,50-1,0-1,5-2,0) ilave edilmiştir. Daha sonra farklı sürelerde (15-30-60 dk) filtrasyon ölçümleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ölçümler sonucunda kuvars kumunun önemli ölçüde filtrasyonu azaltıcı etkiye sahip olduğu ve spud tipi sondaj sıvılarında kullanılabileceği tespit edilmiştir.
