Utilize Ground Hazelnut Shells and Willow Decoction to Improve the Effectiveness of Drilling Mud

Abstract

crucial to follow environmental regulations when preparing drilling mud. These regulations are becoming more important and will remain significant in the future. It's essential to use sustainable, eco-friendly materials at every stage of the oil and gas industry to uphold high standards of sustainable practices. This study investigates how adding Nano 10 Nano meter ground hazelnut shells and willow leaf water can improve lubrication and reduce friction in drilling fluid. The results show that incorporating these environmentally friendly materials also impacts other properties of the drilling fluid, including viscosity, density, filtration, and stability. The findings demonstrate that these materials reduced filtration and density, while improving stability and viscosity. When compared to conventional additives like carboxyl methyl cellulose and diesel oil, the additives used in this study showed promising efficiency, economic viability, and environmental benefits. As per the laboratory results, the Model 12 demonstrated superior performance due to its composition of 15g of Ground Hazelnut Shells, 88ml of diesel, 10g of Ben, 25 gm of Willow Decoction, and 350ml of water. The results showed that the lubrication coefficient for Model 12 was 0.89, which is the best, and the stability after 24 hours was 1%, and after 48, 72, and a week, the stability was 1.5, which is the best, as the lower the value for stability, the better the model, and this is what the above-mentioned model indicated.
