This study investigates the effect of using date seed-based additive on the performance of water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs). Specifically, the effects of date pit (DP) fat content, particle size, and DP loading on the drilling fluids density, rheological properties, filtration properties, and thermal stability were investigated. The results showed that dispersion of particles less than 75 μm DP into the WBDFs enhanced the rheological as well as fluid loss control properties. Optimum fluid loss and filter cake thickness can be achieved by addition of 15–20 wt % DP loading to drilling fluid formulation.

Filtration Properties

An important aspect of hydrocarbon drilling is the usage of drilling fluids, which remove drill cuttings and stabilize the wellbore to provide better filtration. To stabilize these properties, several additives are used in drilling fluids that provide satisfactory rheological and filtration properties. However, commonly used additives are environmentally hazardous; when drilling fluids are disposed after drilling operations, they are discarded with the drill cuttings and additives into water sources and causes unwanted pollution. Therefore, these additives should be substituted with additives that are environmental friendly and provide superior performance. In this regard, biodegradable additives are required for future research. This review investigates the role of various bio-wastes as potential additives to be used in water-based drilling fluids. Furthermore, utilization of these waste-derived nanomaterials is summarized for rheology and lubricity tests. Finally, sufficient rheological and filtration examinations were carried out on water-based drilling fluids to evaluate the effect of wastes as additives on the performance of drilling fluids.

Lubricating Properties

In the process of drilling directional, extended-reach, and horizontal wells, the frictional forces between the drill string and the wellbore or casing can cause severe problems including excessive torque which is one of the most important problems during drilling oil and gas well. Drilling fluid plays an important role by reducing these frictional forces. In this research, an enhancement of lubricating properties of drilling fluids was fundamentally examined by adding Lignite NPs into the water-based drilling fluid. Lubricity, Rheology and filtration properties of water-based drilling fluid were measured at room temperature using OFITE EP and Lubricity Tester, OFITE Model 900 Viscometer, and OFITE Low-Pressure Filter Press, respectively. Lignite NPs were added at different concentrations (0.05 %, 0.1 %, 0.2 %, 0.5 %, and 1 %) by weight into water-based drilling fluid. Lignite NPs showed good reduction in COF of water-based drilling fluid. The enhancement was increased with increasing Lignite NPs concentrations; 23.68%, 35.52%, and 45.3 % reduction in COF were obtained by adding 0.2%, 0.5%, and 1% by weight Lignite NPs concentration, respectively.

Filtration Properties

This work aims to evaluate the influence of the clay swelling inhibitor in the filtration properties of water-based drilling fluids. Drilling fluids were prepared with and without adding potassium citrate clay inhibitor. The following additives were used in the composition of the fluid: viscosity agent (xanthan gum), filtrate reducer (starch and low viscosity carboxymethylcellulose (CMC LV)), antifoam, bactericide, sealant (calcite), lubricant and pH controller. The concentration of inhibitor was used of 15, 20, 25 and 30 g/ 350 mL of water. We determined the filtration properties (filtrate volume (FV), spurt loss (SL), cake thickness (CT) and permeability (K)) of drilling fluids. According to the results, it was concluded that: (i) adding the inhibitor to the fluid promoted reduction of FV and K of fluids containing starch in the composition and (ii) the inhibitor promoted satisfactory reductions in the CT and increased of SL for all the studied fluids. Finally, the inhibited fluids prepared with higher concentrations of starch, CMC LV, calcite and potassium citrate than 25 g/ 350 mL of water showed the best performance compared to FV and SL.
