Banana Trunk As A Lost Circulation Material In Hydrocarbon Drilling Fluid

This project concerns on the investigation of the effect of banana trunk derive from plant waste as a lost circulation material in water-based drilling fluid. The objectives of this project are to determine the effect of banana trunk on density and rheological properties of drilling fluid, to compare the change in properties of drilling fluid between banana trunk, corn cobs and sugar cane and also to determine the suitable particle size of banana trunk between 63μm and 125μm as a lost circulation material in water-based drilling fluid for respective selected core sample through formation damage system test.
