Synergistic application of polypropylene and silica nanoparticle modified by (3-Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane for cuttings transport
Achieving the desired efficiency in cuttings transport has always been a challenge during drilling situations due to complex wellbore trajectories and drilling hydraulics. These issues require suitable additives to formulate the drilling muds. Hence, nanocomposite (NC) particles formed from silica a...

Achieving the desired efficiency in cuttings transport has always been a challenge during drilling situations due to complex wellbore trajectories and drilling hydraulics. These issues require suitable additives to formulate the drilling muds. Hence, nanocomposite (NC) particles formed from silica and polypropylene was modified by (3-Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (termed PP-SiO2 NC-NH2) and the impact of the concentrations of the PP-SiO2 NC-NH2 between 0.4 and 1.2 ppb on the cuttings transport efficiency (CTE) of complex water-based mud (WBM) system was assessed. Mud system containing 0.5 ppb PP-SiO2 NC-NH2 on CTE was measured and compared with that of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA) using sandstone grains of diameters between 0.50 and 3.20 mm at hole angles 0, 30, 45, 60, and 90° with a 42 L/min pump rate. The zeta potential (?-potential), particle size distribution, morphology, and temperature resistance of the NC were examined. The ?-potential data revealed the stability and the long-term stabilization of the modified NC in drilling muds. By adding the concentration of the modified NC into the WBM system, the thinning characteristics and consistency factors were enhanced as the NC concentration increases. Furthermore, the rheological test program reveals that the NC concentrations and 0.5 ppb PHPA increased the shear stress of the WBM with an increase in the shear rate.
