Abstract

Drilling mud is a type of fluid that can help smoothing a drilling. The function of the drilling mud in the drilling process is to lift the drilling cutting. In this laboratory research, corn starch was used as a substitute for starch to reduce filtration loss. Corn starch is made by cleaning, drying, grinding, and sieving. The purpose of this research is to make mud with the addition of corn starch. its effect on filtration loss and mud cake at two temperature conditions. In this study the use of corn starch to be mixed into the mud with concentrations of 3 grams, 5 grams, 7 grams, 9 grams, and 11 grams. Accordingly, it can be seen which mud composition complies with the standard drilling mud specifications. Laboratory test results showed that the addition of corn starch additives caused a decrease in filtration loss for each difference in concentration and temperature. With the addition of 11 grams of corn starch, filtration loss decreased from 6.2 ml to 4.4 ml at 80°F, and it decreased from 5.2 ml to 3.9 ml at 200°F. In addition, corn starch additives cause the thickness of the mud cake formed to decrease. At a temperature of 80 oF the thickness of the mud cake decreased from 0.76 mm to 0.46 mm, while at a temperature of 200 oF it decreased from 0.62 to 0.42 mm. Based on the research results, corn starch additives and temperature influence changes in filtration loss and mud cake.

Abstract

Polymer flooding is an effective Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) method; however, challenges arise in reservoir conditions with high salinity and temperature, which can degrade conventional polymers. This study aims to analyze the rheological characteristics and sweeping performance of a polymer mixture consisting of Xanthan Gum (XG) and a natural additive from red seaweed, Kappaphycus alvarezii (KA). The research methodology includes viscosity testing against variations in temperature and salinity (30,000–50,000 ppm), contact angle measurements for wettability evaluation, adsorption tests in porous media, and coreflooding experiments. The novelty of this research lies in the utilization of Kappaphycus alvarezii as a natural performance-enhancing agent for XG capable of significantly improving fluid-rock interactions. The results indicate that the addition of KA provides a synergistic effect in increasing solution viscosity and stability. Contact angle measurements prove that KA is much more effective in altering rock wettability to water-wet with a value of 29°, compared to XG at 87°, thus being more optimal in releasing oil from rock pores. Adsorption tests showed an increase in polymer retention as salinity rose, yet remained within operational tolerance. In the coreflooding stage, a 12,000ppm solution at 30,000 ppm salinity yielded the highest incremental recovery factor of 13.33%. Overall, the study concludes that the XG-KA mixture has high potential for application in high-salinity reservoirs due to its superiority in mobility control and wettability modification compared to the use of single polymers.
