The objective of this study was to identify the descriptive tests for drilling stable holes through the problems of the selected formations. This study was performed on the shale samples taken from 10 wells in which hole instability was encountered to various extents during drilling the Germav formation. A total of 13 formation samples, characterizing the problematic intervals of the 10 wells under consideration, were evaluated. Descriptive tests were used to compare the samples and to determine the samples that should be used for drilling fluid selection tests. Based on the results of these tests it is possible to select the best drilling fluid for the formations studied. Descriptive tests include x-ray analysis, capillary suction time, hot rolling test, linear swelling test and cation exchange capacity test.

An experimental investigation on the chemical stability of selected formation and determination of the proper type of water-base drilling fluids. Part 2. Test results Erkekol, Selcuk; Gucuyener, I. Hakki; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2006-07-01) The objective of this study was to select the proper drilling fluid type and composition for drilling stable holes through the problems of the selected formations. This study was performed on shale samples taken from 10 wells in which hole instability was encountered to various extents during drilling the Germav formation. Both ionic and polymer inhibitions were utilized in formulating the proper drilling for the Germav formation. Ionic inhibition was obtained using KCl and NaCl. Polyanionic polymer (Pac-L)...
Statistical Approach of Two-three Parameters Rheological Models for Polymer Type Drilling Fluid Analysis Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01) In this study, 45 KCl/polymer type of drilling fluid samples were prepared for statistical analysis. Six difference (600, 300, 200, 100, 6, and 3) readings at standard Fann viscometer speeds were determined in order to estimate the rheological model parameters of our different models, as follows: Bingham Plastic, Power-Law, Hershel-Bulkley, and Robertson-Stiff. Parameters of the rheological models are estimated by explicitly solving the required number of equations simultaneously. Different statistical tech...
A Rheological Characterization and Parametric Analysis of a Bentonite Sample Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01) During the initial stage of this research, properties (x-ray, chemical analysis, swelling test, cation exchange capacity, and amount of clay) of bentonite samples were determined. The concentration effect on the rheological properties of bentonite suspension was determined at six different concentrations (20, 22.5, 24, 26, 28, and 30 gr/350 ml). Fann viscometer dial readings were measured at ten varying rates of shear600, 300, 200, 100, 60, 30, 20, 10, 6, and 3 rpm. A three-parameter Robertson-Stiff model, ...
Characterization and Development of Drilling Fluid Type for an Oil Field Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01) In this study, different types of drilling fluids are developed and analyzed for a mature oil field. The optimum conditions were developed for shallow and deep formations. The experimental procedure that was followed for viscosity, fluid loss, density, and pH calculations is based on the standards dictated by API RP 13B. At the end of the experiments, it was also observed that for shallow depths, 0.2-0.3 lb of caustic soda will be enough for one barrel of drilling fluid. On the other hand, lignosulphanate t...
Parametric Study of Carbon Dioxide Sequestration in Deep Saline Aquifers Basbug, B.; Gumrah, F. (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) CO2 sequestration in a deep saline aquifer was simulated using a compositional commercial simulator based on a single-well aquifer model, which was developed to analyze the injection and storage process of CO2 under supercritical and gaseous conditions for long periods of time. The influence of controlling parameters including vertical to horizontal permeability ratio, aquifer pressure, injection rate on the isothermal injection, and sequestration processes were investigated and the sensitivity analysis cor...
