Abstract
The paper presents the results of experimental studies on the effect of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) additives on the viscosity and rheological characteristics of drilling emulsions based on mineral oil. The formulations of typical drilling fluids containing 65% hydrocarbon phase were modified with nanotubes. The mass concentration of nanotubes in emulsion varied from 0.1 to 0.5%. The formulation and method of preparing stable drilling emulsions with MWCNT additives have been proposed. The rheology of drilling emulsions modified with MWCNTs was studied. The dependency of rheological characteristics on the nanotubes concentration was obtained. In general, MWCNT additives can significantly alter the rheological characteristics of drilling hydrocarbon emulsions at lower concentrations compared to the additives in the form of spherical nanoparticles. This is very important for their practical use in industry. The optimal concentration of MWCNTs for controlling the rheological properties of drilling emulsions is about 0.25 wt. %.
期刊介绍:
The journal Thermophysics and Aeromechanics publishes original reports, reviews, and discussions on the following topics: hydrogasdynamics, heat and mass transfer, turbulence, means and methods of aero- and thermophysical experiment, physics of low-temperature plasma, and physical and technical problems of energetics. These topics are the prior fields of investigation at the Institute of Thermophysics and the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SB RAS), which are the founders of the journal along with SB RAS. This publication promotes an exchange of information between the researchers of Russia and the international scientific community.
