Comprehensive approach to torque and lost circulation problems in geothermal wells in terms of drilling fluid
Sönmez, Ahmet; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Bal, Berk; Bagatır, Gökhan; Gücüyener, I.Hakkı (2021-09-01)
Drilling in a lost circulation zone has long been a challenge in geothermal wells due to its strong potential for high torque and wellbore instability. Particularly in deviated, extended reach and horizontal wells, frictio...
Effects of silica nanoparticles on the performance of water-based drilling fluids
Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Bal, Berk (2019-09-01)
In this research, two groups of experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of silica (SiO2) nanoparticles on the filtration and rheological properties of water-based drilling fluids. In the first group, bentonit...
