Hwang G, Kim D. Transport and retention of positively charged zinc oxide nanoparticles in saturated porous media: Effects of metal oxides and clays. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 351:124007. [PMID: 38677461 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.124007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
The effects of metal oxides and clays on the transport of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) in saturated porous media were investigated under different ionic strength (IS) conditions. We studied the transport and retention behavior of ZnO-NPs for different types of porous media (untreated, acid treated, and acid-salt treated sand). The selected untreated sand was used as a representative sand, coated with both metal oxide and clay. The acid treated and acid-salt-treated sands were used and compared to investigate the effects of clays on the surface of the sand. In addition, the effects of clay particles in bulk solutions on the mobility and retention of ZnO-NPs were observed using bentonite as a representative clay particle. We found that the increased mobility of positively charged ZnO-NPs can be attributed to increasing charge heterogeneity of silica sand with metal oxides (mainly, iron oxide) and clays in untreated sand. No breakthrough of ZnO-NP was observed for acid-treated (presence of clays and absence of metal oxides) and acid-salt-treated sand (absence of both metal oxide and clays). Most of the injected ZnO-NPs were deposited on the surface of the sand near the column inlet. The transport of bentonite-facilitated ZnO-NPs was improved at the lowest IS (0.1 mM) (∼20%), whereas there was no difference in the mobility of ZnO-NPs at high IS solutions (1 mM and 10 mM). In particular, the breakthrough amount improved with increasing bentonite concentration. Classical Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek interactions help explain observed interactions between ZnO-NPs and sand as well as bentonite and sand.

[PMID: 38144318 PMCID: PMC10746428 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e22990] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Wellbore instability is always inevitable in shale formation due to hydration, swelling, and dispersion of clay, especially when using water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs). To mitigate the wellbore instability of shale formation and avoid correlative detriments such as formation damage, various nano-silica particles (nano-SiO2) were employed to plug the nano-sized pores, inhibit water invasion into shale, and prevent shale swelling. Firstly, the influence of various nano-SiO2 on rheological and filtration properties of a set WBDF was evaluated. Then, the linear swelling test, shale recovery test, zeta potential test, imbibition test, contact angle measurement, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation, and computed tomography (CT) analysis were conducted to assess the characteristic of nano-SiO2. Experimental results showed that solid phase nano-SiO2 could dramatically increase the viscosity and yield point while liquid phase nano-SiO2 only caused small fluctuations on these parameters. Besides, hydrophobic nano-SiO2 displayed better filtration performance than hydrophilic nano-SiO2. On the whole, the hydrophobic nano-SiO2 dispersion, called as nano-2, showed the best performance in WBDFs. Furthermore, nano-2 exhibited better inhibition than hydrophilic nano-SiO2, KCl, and polyether amine (PA). Mechanism analysis demonstrated that nano-2 could improve the hydrophobic degree of shale surface and prevent water from contacting with the shale. Meanwhile, nano-2 plugged the pores and throats in the shale. As a consequence, water in the drilling fluid was prevented from invading the shale, and the shale was inhibited. Nano-2 could form a thin barrier in the surface of shale, and mitigate the damage degree of shale cores after perforation operation. As a result, nano-2 displayed great potential to stabilize shale and protect formation in WBDFs.

A Novel Cationic Polymer Surfactant for Regulation of the Rheological and Biocidal Properties of the Water-Based Drilling Muds. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15020330.

Abstract
The copolymer of N,N-diallyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride and N-[3-(Dimethylamino)propyl]methacrylamide (DADMAC-DMAPMA) was synthesized by radical polymerization reaction in an aqueous solution in the presence of the initiator ammonium persulfate (NH4)2S2O8. The molar compositions of the synthesized copolymers were determined using FTIR and 1H NMR-spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and conductometric titration. It was found that in the radical copolymerization reaction, the DMAPMA monomer was more active than the DADMAC monomer; for this reason, the resulting copolymers were always enriched in the DMAPMA monomers. The study of the influence of the DADMAC-DMAPMA copolymer on structure-formation in the bentonite suspension showed that this copolymer significantly increased the static shear stress (SSS) of the system. In this case, the structure-forming properties of the copolymer depended on the pH of the medium. The lower the pH level, the better the structure-formation was in the suspension in the presence of the copolymer. The study of antibacterial activity showed that the DADMAC-DMAPMA copolymer had a biocidal effect against sulfate-reducing bacteria (CRB) at a concentration of not less than 0.05 wt.% and can be used to inhibit the growth of this bacteria.

Abstract
Recently, value-added nanomaterials including nanoparticles or nanofluids have been significantly used in designing drilling fluids with tunable rheological properties to meet specific downhole and environmental requirements. In this work, we report novel water-based drilling fluids (WBDF) containing eco-friendly Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4-NPs) prepared by using olive leaves extract (OLE) as a reducing and capping agent. A series of economical and excellent performance of WBDF was obtained by introducing low, medium, and high concentrations of Fe3O4-NPs into the conventional WBDF. The synthesis of Fe3O4-NPs was accomplished through the thermal decomposition of iron precursors in an organic medium. NPs were added to the based fluid at concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, and 0.5 wt%. Emission scanning microscopy (FESEM), field- and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) were used for Fe3O4-NPs analysis. Compared to the conventional WBDF, the addition of Fe3O4-NPs as an additive in the based fluids has been investigated to help increasing viscosity and yield point, which is advantageous for hole cleaning, as well as decreasing fluid loss and mud cake thickness.

Abstract
Clay swelling is one of the challenges faced by the oil industry. Water-based drilling fluids (WBDF) are commonly used in drilling operations. The selection of WBDF depends on its performance to improve rheology, hydration properties, and fluid loss control. However, WBDF may result in clay swelling in shale formations during drilling. In this work, the impact of imidazolium-based ionic liquids on the clay swelling was investigated. The studied ionic liquids have a common cation group, 1-allyl-3-methyllimidozium, but differ in anions (bromide, iodide, chloride, and dicyanamide). The inhibition behavior of ionic liquids was assessed by linear swell test, inhibition test, capillary suction test, rheology, filtration, contact angle measurement, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was observed that the ionic liquids with different anions reduced the clay swelling. Ionic liquids having a dicyanamide anion showed slightly better swelling inhibition performance compared to other inhibitors. Scanning electron microscopy images showed the water tendency to damage the clay structure, displaying asymmetrical cavities and sharp edges. Nevertheless, the addition of an ionic liquid to sodium bentonite (clay) exhibited fewer cavities and a smooth and dense surface. XRD results showed the increase in d-spacing, demonstrating the intercalation of ionic liquids in interlayers of clay. The results showed that the clay swelling does not strongly depend on the type of anion in imidazolium-based ILs. However, the type of anion in imidazolium-based ILs influences the rheological properties. The performance of ionic liquids was compared with that of the commonly used clay inhibitor (sodium silicate) in the oil and gas industry. ILs showed improved performance compared to sodium silicate. The studied ionic liquids can be an attractive alternative for commercial clay inhibitors as their impact on the other properties of the drilling fluids was less compared to commercial inhibitors.

Abstract
Exploring deep and ultradeep wells has rapidly become more significant to meet the global demand for oil and gas. The study of rheological and filtration-loss properties is essential to designing drilling muds and determining their performance under operational conditions. Rheological and filtration-loss properties of drilling muds were found to have a negative impact when exposed to elevated temperatures in the wells. In this study, an amphoteric polymer (abbreviated to PEX) was synthesized and characterized using a combination of analyses: FTIR, SEM, 13CNMR, and TGA. The synthesized PEX was used as an additive in water-based drilling muds to improve rheological properties and reduce fluid loss at elevated temperatures (180-220 °C). The experimental results demonstrated that inclusion of an optimal concentration of PEX (0.3 wt %) into the drilling mud formulation increased the rheological properties by 62.3% and decreased the filtration loss by 63.5% at an aging temperature of 180 °C. Moreover, PEX was found to perform superbly compared to polyanionic cellulose (PAC-LV) and polyacrylamide (PAM), the widely used drilling mud additives. PEX not only improved the rheological properties and reduced the filtration loss behavior but also bolstered the thermostability of the drilling mud formulation. It was concluded that the rigidity and amphoteric nature of PEX accounted for the exceptional performance and temperature resistance for PEX-drilling mud formulations. Succinctly, PEX exhibits admirable properties in smart drilling mud formulations for drilling operations under high-temperature geothermal conditions. Moreover, in terms of rheological models, the Herschel-Bulkley model adequately described the rheological properties of all the studied drilling mud formulations.
