摘 要:The deterioration of drilling fluid properties during deep drilling causes problems like inefficient cutting removal,fluid invasion,and shale swelling,which increases non-productive time(NPT)and *** nanoparticles(NPs)based drilling fluid are introduced to address these impediments since these particles prove their advantages in different stages of petroleum exploration and *** developments are concerned with the use of commercial zinc oxide(ZnO)NPs in inorganic KCl salt-based drilling fluid,although application of KCl in drilling fluid arouses environmental *** this study,ZnO NPs prepared in the laboratory are used in water-based drilling fluid(WBDF)to assess the effect of nanoparticles on the properties of drilling fluid at two temperature conditions of 40C and 80C.A base mud is formulated,and ZnO NPs with five different concentrations of 0.05,0.1,0.5,1.0,and 2.0 wt%are mixed with the base *** experimental analysis shows that NPs improve the rheological properties of *** the concentration of NPs was 0.1 wt%,the yield point increased by 61.54%at 40C,and when the concentration of NPs was 0.05 wt%,the yield point increased by 60%at 80***,when the concentration of NPs is 0.05 wt%,10-sec gel strengths are enhanced by 25%and 50%at 40C and 80C,*** API low-pressure low-temperature(LPLT)filter volume is not significantly affected by the addition of NPs in ***,mud cake thickness continuously reduces with the increase of NPs *** result reveals that a superior rheological improvement is achieved at low NPs concentration(0.05 wt%)at higher temperature.
