Excessive torque is one of the most important problems in oil/gas drilling industry. Friction between wellbore/casing and drill string causes excessive torque. This study discusses performance analysis of drilling fluid lubricants, which are used as friction reducers in well-bores. Three different types of chemical commercial lubricants, which are fatty acid and glyceride based, triglyceride and vegetable oil based and polypropylene glycol based, diesel oil, and crude oil, which consists of different API gravities, paraffin and asphaltene value samples, are selected for the analysis.

Rheological evaluation of polymers as drilling fluids
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2003-01-01)
Polymers are recently found and still developing materials to overcome some drilling problems where conventional drilling fluids are not satisfactory enough. Simply, they are the best materials to use since they are non-toxic and do not cause serious environmental problems. In addition, polymeric drilling fluids may have properties such as better carrying capacity, less fluid loss, and thinner filtration cake depending on their composition and concentration. In this research, rheological parameters of two d...
Penetration rate prediction for diamond bit drilling by adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system and multiple regressions
BASARIR, HAKAN; Tutluoğlu, Levend; Karpuz, Celal (Elsevier BV, 2014-05-01)
In many mining, civil, and petroleum engineering applications diamond bit drilling is widely used due to high penetration rate, core recovery and its ability to drill with less deviation. Recently, many research have been conducted to estimate the penetration rate of diamond drilling which can be considered as one of the most important parameters in project planning and cost estimation of the operation.
Using foam in horizontal well drilling: A cuttings transport modeling approach
Ozbayoglu, ME; Miska, SZ; Reed, T; Takach, N (Elsevier BV, 2005-04-30)
Foam is a frequently used compressible fluid in drilling applications. Cuttings transport with foam has been a focus of interest for years. Few studies have been conducted on vertical well configuration and successfully applied. However, less is known about the performance of foam in highly inclined and horizontal wells. In this study, a layered model is developed for describing cuttings transport in horizontal wells. Due to the presence of a cuttings bed, generalized rheological model parameters for foam a...
Thermal characterization of crude oils by pressurized differential scanning calorimeter (PDSC)
Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Nurgaliev, Danis K. (Elsevier BV, 2019-06-01)
In this research, pressurized differential scanning calorimeter (PDSC) were used to estimate the thermal and kinetic behaviour of two different crude oils from Tatarstan oil fields under three different pressures (100, 600, 2000 kPa) at a constant heating rate (10 degrees C/min). The heat flow curves of both crude oils indicated two reaction regions known as low temperature oxidation (LTO) and high temperature oxidation (HTO). The reaction intervals were shifted to lower temperature regions with the increas...
