Evaluations of Polyacrylamide Water-Based Drilling Fluids for Horizontal Drilling in the Shaly Wolfcamp Formation

Author: Wiggins, H. ; Metwally, M. ; Saasen, A. ; Gipson, M. ; Yoo, H. ; Nguyen, T.

SummaryThe Permian Basin, located in southeastern New Mexico and west Texas, is treated as the largest province of oil and gas production in the United States (US). The majority of hydrocarbon production from the Permian Basin is from the Wolfcamp shaly formation. Drilling horizontal and extended reached wells is continuously increasing day after day in the Permian Basin. Oil-based mud (OBM) is used to drill these horizontal wells for enhancing shale inhibition, reducing torque and drag, and supporting thermal stability of mud rheology. Due to environmental regulation for limiting use of OBM, the petroleum industry has tried to develop water-based fluid (WBF) that approaches the performance advantages of OBM.The main objective of this research is to formulate and develop WBF by using polyacrylamide anionic friction reducer (AFR) for drilling the lateral sections of horizontal wells in the shaly Wolfcamp formation. Shale inhibition, barite sagging, lubricity, and thermal stability of the formulated WBF with AFR will be studied to evaluate the developed WBF. Laboratory experiments were conducted to develop and evaluate the performance of the formulated WBF with AFR. The shale inhibition capabilities of the developed WBF with AFR were evaluated by using zeta potential, shale dispersion test, and immersion test.The results prove the capability of the formulated WBF with AFR to prevent both shale swelling and shale dispersion. AFR limits water penetrations to shale through encapsulation. The mixing procedures of AFR with WBF affect both the thermal stability of mud rheology and shale inhibition. Adding AFR to WBF helps to suspend weighting materials and mitigate barite sag. Besides, AFR decreases torque and drag by decreasing the coefficient of friction (COF). Furthermore, AFR supports enhanced stability of mud rheology with time up to 14 days at temperatures up to 180°F.The formulated WBF with AFR can be used for enhancing shale inhibition, supporting thermal and time stability of fluid rheology, improving lubricity, and minimizing barite sagging for drilling shaly Wolfcamp formations. This study presents a promising WBF to replace OBM to drill lateral sections in the Permian Basin.

Smartwater Synergy with Chemical EOR: Studying the Potential Synergy with Surfactants

Author: Rousseau, David ; Sofi, Abdulkareem ; Ayirala, Subhash C. ; Wang, Jinxun ; Salaün, Mathieu ; Morvan, Mikel

SummaryThe potential synergy between smartwater and various enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes has recently attracted significant attention. In previous work, we demonstrated such favorable synergy for polymer floods not only from a viscosity standpoint but also in terms of wettability. Recent studies suggest that smartwater synergy might even extend to surfactant floods. In this work, we investigate the potential synergy between smartwater and surfactant flooding. Opposed to previous work, the potential synergy is investigated from ground zero. We concurrently developed two surfactant formulations for conventional high-salinity injection water and low-salinity smartwater. To design the optimal surfactant-polymer (SP) formulations, we followed a systematic all-inclusive laboratory workflow. Oil displacement studies were performed in preserved core samples using the two developed formulations with conventional injection water and smartwater. The results demonstrated the promising potential of binary surfactant mixtures of olefin sulfonate (OS) and alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonate (AGES) for both waters. The designed binary formulations were able to form Winsor Type III emulsions besides achieving ultralow interfacial tensions (IFTs). Most importantly, in terms of oil displacement, the developed SP formulations in both injection water and low-salinity smartwater were capable of recovering more than 60% of the remaining oil post waterflooding. A key novelty of this work is that it investigates the potential synergy between smartwater and surfactant-based processes from the initial step of surfactant formulation design. Through well-designed from-scratch evaluation, we demonstrate that surfactant-based processes exhibit limited synergies with smartwater. Comparable processes in terms of performance can be designed for both high-salinity and low-salinity waters. It is also quite possible that the synergistic benefits of smartwater on oil recovery cannot be effective in SP flooding processes, especially with specific surfactant formulations under optimal salinity conditions.

Compatibility of polyvinylidene chloride with mechanical recycling of polyolefins

Author: Ferrari, Domenico ; Vanderveken, Yves ; Mirenda, Marco ; Sanguineti, Aldo

The exceptional low permeability to oxygen and water of PVDC and the retention of barrier properties to oxygen even in humid conditions explain its success for packaging in food industry as barrier layer in Polyolefins (PO) multilayer films, whose contribution to the reduction of food waste is largely recognized. Several chemical recycling technologies have emerged in the recent years that, together with methodologies based on separation of layers by the use of solvents, will strongly increase in a near future the extent of recycling of multilayer films, including the PVDC-containing ones. At the same time, it is generally accepted that for several years these technologies will be complemented by the now dominating mechanical recycling. A lack of detailed study in the literature and a general confusion between very different PVDC grades, with and without internal stabilization, led to the idea that the dehydrochlorination of PVDC would cause a low quality of the recyclate obtained by mechanical recycling of PO in presence of PVDC and a corrosion risk for the equipment. In this study, the effect of a stabilized PVDC grade developed for coextrusion, at concentration typical of real life PO mix for mechanical recycling and in suitable condition, has been investigated in a pilot scale extruder and corrosion tests were performed. In conclusion, quantities of PVDC to be found in PO streams for mechanical recycling are compatible with a PO recyclate of excellent characteristics, even at extrusion temperatures as high as 220°C, with no damage to the PO structure, with only minimum discoloration, that can be mitigated by relatively low quantities of additives of general use in PO extrusion, and with no risk of corrosion of the equipment.

SELENA GOMEZ ANNOUNCES THE SECOND ANNUAL RARE IMPACT FUND BENEFIT SUPPORTING YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH

Selena Gomez will host her second annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit: A Night of Radiance & Reflection on October 24 in Los Angeles LOS ANGELES, Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Selena Gomez announced today that the second annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit, the annual fundraiser in support of the Rare Impact Fund, will be held on October 24 in Los Angeles. The star-studded benefit will feature live entertainment and special performances to be announced later. Now in its second year, the Rare Impact Fund Benefit: A Night of Radiance & Reflection aims to raise funds to support The Rare Impact Fund's mission to mobilize $100 million for organizations increasing access to youth mental health services and education globally. The Benefit will take place at Nya Studios West in Hollywood, California and will include food, drinks, world class entertainment, and a live auction. "I am so excited to host the second annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit here in Los Angeles and to continue building on the success of last year's inaugural event," shared Selena Gomez, Founder and Creator of Rare Beauty and the Rare Impact Fund. "Mental health advocacy and furthering the Rare Impact Fund's mission has become my life's work and I couldn't do this without the support of those around me. A heartfelt thank you to incredible friends and sponsors who passionately support our work." Selena Gomez launched the Rare Impact Fund in 2020 with the goal of raising $100 million to improve youth mental health around the world.
