Abstract

Drilling fluids are used in oil well drilling depending on their filtration characteristics and rheological properties. Because of the increase in environmental policies, innovations in water-based drilling fluids (WBDF) have been proposed to convert them into high-performance fluids with stabilizer properties during drilling, avoiding an increase in non-productive time (NPT) and costs. This study proposes the enhancement of WBDF due to the addition of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs). After the addition of ZnO-NPs, the results show that the drilling fluid, with a concentration of 0.05 % ZnO-NPs, has improved rheological properties, evaluated at 25, 50, and 70 °C. At room temperature, there is an increase in other parameters such as apparent viscosity (AV) 200 %, the plastic viscosity (PV) 180 %, the yield point (YP) 240 %, compared to the base fluid and furthermore 10-min gel strength elevates by 80 % more. In addition, the amount of filtered fluid reduces from 13.5 to 10.4 mL, even under conditions of 500 psi and 150 °C, there is a 54 % reduction, indicating the formation of a proper filter cake.

Keywords
