The study of regulation of characteristics of drilling mud on the green technologies

Abstract

The chemical agents, materials and drilling mud types developed on them and applied in the drilling of oil and gas wells significantly affect the technical-economic parameters of well construction. Moreover, in the time of the innovative technologies implemented in the context of the drilling mud, the consideration of the environmental aspects is crucially important and defines the most significant research areas as well. Therefore, the minimization of the impact of the drilling mud types and the particles of subsurface rocks transported from the depth on the environment is of no small interest. In the context of “Absheron” agent developed in our country based on the “green technologies”, the perspectives of its employment in the drilling process according to the results of the experimental studies are reviewed in the paper. Thus, due to the scientific-research surveys conducted and the introduction of the results obtained in the production, the advantages of the “green technologies” have been identified, the perspectives of the further development of this trend specified as well.
