- Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the micro-size fly ash on the rheological and filtration properties of the water-based drilling mud such as; viscosities, gel strength, and filtration rate. The fly ash has been added in different concentration to the drilling fluid; 1 wt. %, 2 wt. %, 3 wt. %, 4 wt. %, 5 wt. %, 6 wt. % of the total drilling fluid weight. As a result, it was concluded that the rheological parameters showed an optimum ratio which is 4 wt. % of micro-sized fly ash. The apparent viscosity and the yield point increased by 20% and 43%, respectively, with the adding 4 wt. % fly ash. And, the filtration rate is generally enhanced with the increase of the concentration of fly ash.
