Abstract:

The paper deals with drilling to evaluate the possible completion of an oil/gas well efficiently. Different activities that drilling fluids perform would ensure that such becomes possible; designing an adequate drilling mud has to consider all good conditions. It is an experiment conducted in a lab. It investigates the behaviour and properties of drilling mud by adding various concentrations by weight of local organic ash to improve the properties of drilling mud and reduce the negative effect of organic ash on the environment and human health. The laboratory experiments included rheological tests to estimate the physical and rheological properties of drilling mud systems that had been developed. The analytical results of laboratory tests showed that adding organic ash to the mud improves its properties. A study on a mud system containing barite and another containing Organic ash was compared, and in all the above parameters as compared to other mud containing barite, the muds containing organic ash were rich in l, gel strength, density, and pH; however, they were worse in filtration loss control.
