Investigation of the rheological properties of nanosilica-reinforced polyacrylamide/polyethyleneimine gels for wellbore strengthening at high reservoir temperatures
(
American Chemical Society
, 2019 , Article)
Wellbore strengthening has been introduced recently to resolve lost circulation problems by improving the fracture gradient and hence extending the mud window. Polymeric cross-linkable solutions showed outstanding strength ...
A comprehensive rheological study for a flowing polymer-based drilling fluid used for wellbore strengthening
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Loss circulation encountered in highly fractured formations, depleted reservoir, or HP/HT intervals is the root cause of many problems plaguing the oil and gas sector for many years. High pore pressure narrows the window ...
Rheology of Triamine Functionalized Silica Reinforced Polymeric Gels Developed for Conformance Control Applications
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
Recently, cross-linked polymers such as polyacrylamide (PAM)/polyethylenimine (PEI) have been used in conformance control applications to replace conventional lost circulation materials (LCMs). The objective of this work ...
Gelation kinetics of PAM/PEI based drilling mud for lost circulation applications
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
The problem of lost circulation is a direct consequence of the presence of fractures or high permeability. Lost circulation material (LCM) is used to treat the loss that occurs or proactively strengthen the wellbore of the ...
Assessing the relation between mud components and rheology for loss circulation prevention using polymeric gels: A machine learning approach
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
The traditional way to mitigate loss circulation in drilling operations is to use preventative and curative materials. However, it is difficult to quantify the amount of materials from every possible combination to produce ...
Investigation on the effect of mud additives on the gelation performance of PAM/PEI system for lost circulation control
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
Lost circulation is one of the most common problems in the drilling of oil and gas wells where mud escapes through natural or induced fractures. Lost circulation can have severe consequences from increasing the operational ...
Gelation kinetics of functionalized silica crosslinked polymeric gels used in conformance control applications
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2021 , Article)
The potential crosslinking of three types of nitrogen-containing functionalized silica (TAAcONa, guanidine, and triamine) with polyacrylamide (PAM) has been investigated. Only triamine silica was able to crosslink with ...
Investigation of Filter Cake Evolution in Carbonate Formation Using Polymer-Based Drilling Fluid
(
American Chemical Society
, 2021 , Article)
Drilling fluid and filtrates invasion often alter the near-wellbore flow properties during overbalanced drilling. The utilization of polymeric gels to prevent drilling fluid loss reduces the risk of formation damage caused ...
Reinforcement of polyacrylamide-co-tert-butyl acrylate base gel using nanosilica for conformance control at low and high reservoir temperatures
(
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Challenges of water shut-off, which is categorized under conformance control, are nowadays common in the oil and gas industry. The excessive water quantities produced from oil reservoirs can make the production process ...
Development of pH-Controlled Aluminum-Based Polymeric Gel for Conformance Control in Sour Gas Reservoirs
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
Excessive water production from natural gas reservoirs is a main challenge facing the industry nowadays. Polymeric gelants have been widely applied to seal the water production zones, leading to a more feasible production ...
