RESEARCH ON EVALUATING SYNTHETIC HTHP FLUID LOSS REDUCER IN VARIOUS OIL BASE DRILLING FLUIDS

Nowadays every company in oil and gas industries is focusing in deep water well technology. Those who dominate these technologies upfront will conquer this industry and that is how its work. Basically, deep water well drilling need drilling fluids that can withstand in HTHP conditions and oil base will be the selection of the drilling fluids rather water base drilling fluids. One of the additives in oil base drilling fluids is HTHP fluid loss reducer that functions as small particles that bridging the pore opening in mudcake to reduce mud filtrate. Research work on performance of synthetic HTHP fluid loss reducer in various types of oil base mud have a solid objective which is to evaluate the performance of various types of HTHP fluid loss reducer in various types of oil base mud. By using four different types of synthetic oil base which are Sarapar 147, Saraline 185, and Escaid 110 the research will be done in terms of evaluating and comparing the performance each of these synthetic oil base as its rheology properties and behaviors in HTHP conditions and the performance each of its when applying different types of HTHP fluid loss reducer which includes of Confi-Trol F and Confi-Trol XHT. The data collected from the experiments, will then lead to the formulating new HTHP fluid loss reducer as a new innovation in this area. It seems to have commercial value in this projects and one of the oil and gas company are willingly to involve in consulting the project.
