low Brocato welcome back my friends to
my youtube channel drilling and work
over this is abdul aziz gob I am
accredited instructor in IWF well
control and IDC which sharp also I am a
great instructor in Aida seaman
engineering for basic and advanced model
school we will continue to the angel law
about very important high-performance
mod which is used in the reservoir
section in order to in order to the in
order to avoid any damage that case that
could happen to the reservoir
today in sha allah who will talk about
something is known as reservoir drill
and fluid actually if we if we try to
drill any well okay why we drill the
well and order finally to get the
production of oil okay so if we have
drilled well and finally we damaged in
the reservoir we will actually the
result we will not get good results and
we will damage the reservoir and we will
lose a lot of money
so we have to make a special fluid to be
used in the reservoir section with
special characterization or special
properties in order to reduce the damage
inside the reservoir okay and side
reservoir actually as we have taken in
the functions of the of the functions of
the drilling fluid one of the functions
is to reduce filtrate why to reduce the
filtrate because if you see that the
filtrate could make a flush flush to the
near will bore zone and makes skin and
makes damage into the reservoir which
leads to reducing the pore size or the
poor throat
and leads to very drastic or
catastrophic problems to the reservoir
and it means more money to make
stimulation for the reservoir so what is
the reservoir drill in fluid or its
abbreviation rdf actually it's a normal
fluid it is the same fluid like the
conventional one but it has some special
properties which is to reduce or make
non damage Inc characteristics to both
the formation and it was a completion
assembly as well okay and also to
maximize productivity if the key
objective in the design of the optimum
reservoir drilling fluid so here what
are the drilling issues that we have to
take care while drilling that is a four
sections good drilling properties like
the hole cleaning especially especially
in the horizontal with what are the hole
cleaning methods that we use in clean
and making hole cleaning for for the
horizontal section and why we are
talking about the hole cleaning because
as you know in the horizontal section
and where cuttings are on the low side
so that wants you to start to make
production to the well these solids will
make blogging to the screens and leads
to a great problem and it may need to go
out to fool with the screen assembly and
at this you will lose a lot of money so
the cost is very important here number
two the lubricity okay number three is a
low fluid loss the low fluid loss
especially the bridging and fluid loss
and Hills to be added in reservoirs owns
actually the low fluid loss here is very
important because as I told you the
filtrate may makes may make flush to the
wellbore zone and it leads to high scan
factor of a positive scan factor and it
is very big problem the bridging saw
that we used here some materials these
materials must be non damaging for
example Lebec or the bully and in axilla
knows it is not used and the reservoir
because it's silly lows silly lows is a
damaging material it can not be acid
available okay so we don't use for
example the back or CMC or anything that
makes damage to the reservoir but
instead we makes very important
technique it's called the PSD or
particle size distribution it's it
depends on using blend of bridging
material in order to help us to reduce
the filtrate okay so we are adding here
a very important bridging the materials
and they must be a said variable for
example like the marble the car some
companies the bar a curb or something
like this so this is very important and
in addition we add some fluid those
additives which are very important and
it has to be non damaging to the
reservoir number three the formation
inhibition actually the shear inhibition
is very important and as I told you in
the formulation of the mud we use shell
inhibitors they are there are two types
of shear inhibitors number one in the
shield inhibitors are asphaltic material
okay like the salt Texas is denied big
zor-el all these chemicals are expensive
material and the other types are bully
Emine so we use the body-aline
and reservoir zone like Alice Bob or
calla guard or from other chemicals so
take care of this very important
flute compatibility with the reservoir
fluids the fluid that we are using ok
must be order brine is why we are using
must be compatible with the reservoir in
order not to make scales or make
damaging to the reservoir and for
forming some skin also making skin
factor to be very high especially in the
near will bore finally in draining
issues we have to take about what the
environmental restrictions to be taken
into into your account okay
and finally and the most important
parameter in all the oil field is the
cost what you pay and when you when your
money comes or as a flow of that cash
flow money okay so there is a void
drilling fluid selections depends on
number one the formation innovation
number two the claim of design and I
told you that the clean up design is
very important due to the screens
especially in the open hole completion
environmental considerations must be
taken into the account and account
completion design fluid compatibility so
that is voir well objectives and dynasty
and bottom hole requirements and finally
the cost and the availability must be
taken into account okay the most the
most famous type of the rdf always of
our drilling fluids are the
hasbro series pro series and are very
important types in the bro series and
there is a were drilling fluid for
example the flow pro in t okay all these
are systems but they are the same like
the conventional one but as i told you
they don't have damaging material okay
so each company makes a system for
itself and call it with a commercial
name in order to make more
money and more Ravine you also the first
type is called flow pro NT which is
water-based reservoir drilling fluid
flow pro SF okay it's solid free
water-based reservoir drilling fluid
vibro which is high density water-based
the reservoir drilling fluid there's a
bro which is oil paste reservoir
drilling fluid lava bro which is
synthetic oil based reservoir drill and
fluid fuzzy bro and which is reversible
oil based reservoir drill in fluid and
the a comprehensive range of the fluids
to meet exacting reservoir and
environmental consideration so all these
pipes or all these systems are used to
drill reservoir section so you can use
any one of them according to the
situation and according to the
parameters all the considerations that
we have talked in the last slide okay
okay what is the applications of the
flow Pro in T system okay it's used in
the horizontal drilling fluid vertical
drilling fluid also under sidetracks
also it is used and in K in gas
injection wells also it is used in the
multi lateral so all of these are in the
reserve water sections okay it can be
used also in the cold tube in the
created fluids and the meaning and in
cooling too and also water injection
what are the components of the flow bra
NT as it is usual system it is like all
the system base fluid fluid loss
producer discuss a fire some bridging
materials from inhibitors and wetting
agent okay we're waiting material so
these are the components but take a
decade that these components must not be
damaging to the reservoir or and must be
acid soluble
okay number one is that bass Brian okay
number two viscous fire fluid rows
additives and bridging agents pH control
inhibition lubricant and breaker system
in order to damages are not due to
damage is a filter is a filter cake
after finishing the job okay so this is
very important is the base Brian what
are the Brian that we use in the flow
bro system actually the flow brew system
why it is the same like the solid free
or low so it non dispersive map it is
the same like it okay so there is no
solids or very little solids and that
okay so the first one in those or the
base fluid is called the bins grades
what are the base brand can be fresh
water can be filled brine it can be
potassium chloride and be calcium
chloride it can be sodium chloride and
it can be sodium provide also other
brands may be calcium bromide not zinc
bromide not potassium for me sodium
formate and cesium for me but actually
the most the most important thing in
this brand that they are compatible with
the reservoir fluids okay so take care
of this very important number two the
viscosity fires what are the viscous
affairs to get there to get the rheology
and viscosity in wine gel strains all
the parameters that helps me in hole
cleaning while drilling with this system
so what are the viscosity fires for the
flow pro NT number one the chemical is
called flow vicinity which is non
clarified and non despairs it as I told
you Montes bears it premium grade of
dance and gum okay
it provides low she reeled buoyant why
it will waste low she reeled one because
as I told you during making
whole cleaning and the horizontal
section it's very important that the
reading of the six RBM and 3 rpm must be
minimum equal to the hole size and so
that the bully mark must be must give
some parameters to the low shitheel
tonight number two when the chemicals
that are used or that may be used in the
flop roll and it's crucifiers is called
by office labelled with it provides also
low shear yield point and it is used in
pin hole upon production number three
and the components for the flow pro in
te fluid loss fluid loss additives fluid
loss against number one is called float
roll and I have already worked it with
this chemical all of this polymer float
roll it's very important polymer it can
be used with high calcium vironment can
be also used in high thermal with high
thermal stability
so the flow troll is very good chemical
it's a hydro i grok zebra by L cross
linking starch it's stable up to 250
Fahrenheit as I told you that the
thermal stability is very high
other types called dual flow it's
hydroxypropyl hydro drug the profile
cross linking cm or carboxy misfiled
star and it is also stable up to 250
thermal the bridging agents the bridging
agents that are used in the reservoir
zoom as I told you they must be acid
soluble they must be acid soluble like
the Baraka like the marble can some
carbonates all these chemicals that are
be used and before we are making the
bridging material we have to make
something is called vertical size
distribution and then we check for
filtrate
with and the sport loss and the total
sparked by using something is called DBT
test which is the permeability plugging
tester okay
it is very important so we use
understood your safe carb or bar
carbonates okay which means the
carbonate and it is used its ground
marble a high purity minimum a 98 acid
soluble okay as I told you and for
example the safe carb to exercise is to
safe carpeting and another one is v carb
20 it's used octave bridge okay up the
bridge is program that's used to make
the BST or particle size distribution to
select is a safe carb land or safe carb
mixture mixture of of those sizes with
different sizes in order to get the
optimum particle size distribution as
you see here this is the filter cake as
you see from the filter cake you see
that there is here the bridging material
okay and the army are covered with
plaster nning effect from the flow those
additives like for example as I told you
floral or other chemicals so this is
very important to make the VSD to make
strong strong strong what's known strong
filter cake while while drilling why we
make this because of the high over
balance that we are draining for the
reservoirs own to avoid any well control
issue okay the invasion control as you
see as I told you here the invasion
control we will talk about it in details
and very importantly on the scope stress
gauge technique and particle size
distribution why we use this because
these are used especially in the
reservoir zone as you see here for
example while drilling without as
some solids some solids or some solids
are making the Pfister cake here okay
and all the filtrate is coming to that
formation this makes a lot of problem so
we use some chemical or some bridging
material to help us to make to control
to control this to control this filtrate
okay by making the particle size
distribution we are using from blend
blend okay or mixture from different
sizes and this why this makes very good
filter cake as you will see insha'Allah
in the next lecture
here as you see here for example if you
weigh as you and that then all all of
that all of the bridging material of the
same size as big as you can so as big
like this okay so that at this time you
will see a lot of bugs between in
between large particles and so that it
will lead the filtrate to be really high
but if we make blend or mixing between
the large particles the medium particles
and the very fine particles we will make
very very strong filter cake and I will
discuss with you the mechanism of
formation of this type of filter cake
and the next class on each one okay and
as you see here it is the same meaning
you are using the same the same size it
will not make good good filtration okay
and it will not make good filter loss
and a lot of filtrate will pass through
them but for example if we use
differences as you see this big is later
this is low and this is lower and is the
least and it is very fine if we are
making mixing of them okay and they may
have use the optic bridge system or also
known as particle size distribution
system in order to get for example which
how many of havoc how many of the little
one help
of the very small one and how many
pounds of that very fine one so if we
are and if we get the best formula for
all this we can make very good very good
bridging and it helped in reducing the
filtrate okay well what is known as
particle size distribution okay and this
is the program that can be used for this
okay
the flow Pro other additives what are
the other additives we can use pH
control like mg o or image or K which
shade inhibition and as I told you we
are using the black color stop or color
guard for example because these are very
important and they are bully a mine not
asphaltic material lubricants can be
used for example the red a green or fine
agree is the most important one non
emulsifiers like safe breakers also are
used by the sides because these are
bacterial places due to the deeper zones
and this is very important as I said
like the safe side or another chemicals
breaker selection depends on the acids
like micro job oxidizers enzymes and the
mod not solving okay now now we will
make open-hole completions
so after ball out of hole with the
cleaning assembly okay with the cleaning
assembly or sleek assembly we will run
in hole with the completion okay we run
in hole with the completion it is
screens okay because if it's open-hole
completions we are running with screens
me a wire grab the screen so that before
ball out of hole okay we have to be sure
100% that the solid percent and the mud
is very little an order not to make
blogging to the to these screens so how
we
make sure that the solids are very
little and the bridging material and the
other stuff can are we have already get
rid of them
have we know this actually there is
something is called the clean up design
there is no clean up design for it if
their completion design utilizes the
gravel back for example the grade of
safe car also carbonates must be
designed to be produced the bag
throw their screens okay they must be
designed to be produced back through the
screens and it doesn't in be in being
production who doesn't make blogging to
that screen okay so until now we need to
know the test to check for what is the
test
it's called production screen Esther or
BST what is the BST it's very important
test and very simple first as you see
this is the cell of the test and this is
a bottle with 100 B so I okay we are
sorry making with this regulator for the
co2 cartridge to increase the pressure
here to be 100 PS alright and we check
for the scub to be to fill this Cup in
one minute this cup must be fail must
must be filled as soon as possible and
as quick as you can
in less than one minute other wine other
otherwise we will continue circulation
we may circulate for six hour seven
hours eight hours and sometimes in order
to get rid of the solids and to get rid
of the solids we have to make the
screens to leave very fine
we have to use the solar control like
the centrifuge number five in order to
make the solids to get rid of all the
solids and the mud and the mud it's very
fine at this type so how we know that by
this is called production screen
perogies
in fact instill steel as you see many
parties stand or standard for of it with
fittings of it is the main company to
provide this committee's equipment cell
capacity is 1200 okay millimeters weight
its weight is ten point five kilograms
and maximum pressure is 100 psi and it
is quick and simple twee used okay we
use any or any of these screens
according to the size of screens that
will be run in hold so according to the
size if it is very fine for example
we'll use this type if it is not very
fine we will use this and other one is
when it is course we will use this type
okay so we use this in the test
according this is called screen insert
in the test it is according to the
screens that we will be used in the
common so it's manufactured from section
of the field screen most types of
completion scrip applicable wire Reb for
example pre-bagged excluder and strata
pack all these types are used as I told
you okay how to makes vests system it is
the same like any water-based mod system
who are making first of all the best
fluid then we adding the makeup water
for example caustic soda or Kosovo - and
soda ash okay then we had the Flores
reducer then we add the couscous fire
and finally well the in Hitchin and the
salt and finally we add waiting
which must be as I told you acid soluble
okay so what are the mixing mixes the
phosphors and floaters user in fresh
water to get the maximum with the
maximum shear to get the maximum
properties of them as in add the salt
then mix the caustic soda and Sol ahead
add the bridging Asian add lubricant if
required and add the color guard or
bully a mind shield inhibitor if
required and finally add run check okay
and adjust if necessary okay what are
the properties of the flow Pro NT as you
see the dynasty with or without calcium
carbonates okay we use mainly high
calcium carbonate the drilling fluid
dynasty is Brian velocities why we are
using here Brian especially this also
treated one because we are taking the
maximum weight of the salt then we are
adding carbon needs for example in order
to be in order to reduce the solids as
much as we can in the month okay we can
increase the dynasty another BBG by
using the calcium carbonate and calcium
carbonate in acid soluble acid soluble
this is very important all of the free
version relies only on brine for its
density okay what are the rheology of
the flow blow aunty properties this is
very important there is inverted the
velocity viscosity why the yield point
is 13 velocity viscosity unhealed wind
is very high as you see is 40 Gel starts
flat and spreads with solids okay but
the gel must be flat why why flat
because if it is progressive it will
make a great problem and you can't run
the screens or the screens may be logged
wire and
rheology really really based on the low
shear values or gloss yield point values
because most of the property is used in
horizontal section
in the reservoir thank you very much
today for the first lesson and the
drilling fluid
I hope insha'Allah I have give you a
good lesson about the drill in fluid and
I hope to see you later inshallah thank
you very much and see you later
inshallah and good bye
