Specially designed non-damaging lost circulation pills (LCP) are being effectively applied for drilling depleted zones worldwide. Optimizing the LCP compositions stop the lost circulation effectively and protect the production zone from liquid and solids invasion significantly. Shape, particle size distribution and concentration of the lost circulation materials (LCM) are key parameters determining the effectiveness of LCP. In this study, the Permeability Plugging Apparatus (PPA) is utilized to evaluate effectiveness of various LCM’s in curing the lost circulation. Sized calcium carbonates are used as LCM in different concentrations and in different particle size distribution. Lost circulation zones are simulated using the ceramic disks and slotted disks. Ceramic disks with nominal pore sizes 20, 35, 60, 90, and 150 microns are characterized in terms of pore size distribution using the computerized image analysis technique. Filter cake quality, spurt loss and filtrate volume are basic parameters to be evaluated in this study. Tests are performed at 75 F and 300 psi of differential.

An Experimental study of particle size and concentration effects of calcium carbonate on rheological and filtration properties of drill-in fluids
Odabaşı, Aydın; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Gücüyener, İ. Hakkı; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2015)
Specially designed non-damaging Drill-In Fluids (DIF) are being effectively applied for drilling depleted zones worldwide. Shape, particle size distribution and concentration of materials like calcium carbonate (CaCO3) are key parameters determining the effectiveness of DIF. In this study, 3 different sized and 5 different concentrations CaCO3 are used to examine the effects of these factors on rheology and fluid loss of DIF. Sized calcium carbonates are used as major particles in different concentrations a...
EVALUATION OF THE CHITOSAN-COATING EFFECTIVENESS ON A DENTAL TITANIUM ALLOY IN TERMS OF MICROBIAL AND FIBROBLASTIC ATTACHMENT AND THE EFFECT OF AGING
Kalyoncuoglu, Ulku Tugba; Yilmaz, Bengi; Gungor, Serap; Evis, Zafer; UYAR, PEMBEGÜL; AKCA, GÜLÇİN; Kansu, Gulay (2015-01-01)
The aim of this study was to obtain a biocompatible and antimicrobial implant surface by coating Ti6Al4V with chitosan which can be used to create a smooth transmucosal region for a faster and better wound healing and an increased bioactivity. Ti6Al4V plates were first abraded and ultrasonically cleaned and then coated with chitosan. In order to simulate the conditions of an oral environment, a group of coated plates were treated in a thermocycle apparatus. The coatings were evaluated with SEM, EDS, XRD and...
Development of a novel functionally graded membrane containing boron-modified bioactive glass nanoparticles for guided bone regeneration
Rad, Reza Moonesi; Atila, Deniz; Evis, Zafer; Keskin, Dilek; Tezcaner, Ayşen (2019-08-01)
Barrier membranes are used in periodontal tissue engineering for successful neo-bone tissue formation and prevention of bacterial colonization. We aimed to prepare and characterize novel 7% boron-modified bioactive glass (7B-BG) containing bilayered membrane for this end. We hypothesized that presence of 7B-BG could promote structural and biological properties of guided bone regeneration (GBR) membrane. Cellulose acetate (CA) layer was prepared by solvent casting, and functionally graded layer of CA/gelatin...
A new route to synthesis of nanocomosites by using an unsaturated polyester matrix
Toprak, Pelin; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Chemical Engineering (2004)
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of organoclay type and concentration on the nanocomposites synthesized by أIn-Situ Polymerizationؤ and أPrepolymerizationؤ methods. In-Situ Polymerization Method was in fact a new route which consisted of dispersing the monomers; propylene glycol, maleic anhydride and o-phthalic anhydride into the galleries of montmorillonite followed by subsequent polymerization. The Prepolymerization Method involved the addition of montmorillonite to the previously synth...
Tailoring the magnetic behavior of polymeric particles for bioapplications
YAKAR, ARZU; Tansik, Gulistan; Keskin, Tugba; Gündüz, Ufuk (2013-05-01)
In this study, magnetic polymeric nanoparticles were prepared use in for targeted drug delivery. First, iron oxide (Fe3O4) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized by coprecipitation with ferrous and ferric chloride salts. Then, to render the MNPs hydrophobic, the surfaces were covered with oleic acid. Finally, the hydrophobic MNPs (H-MNPs) were encapsulated with polymer. The emulsion evaporation technique was used for the preparation of polymer-coated H-MNP. Poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and c...
