Somewhat surprising, it is only recently that potassium silicate has become the alkali silicate of choice for use on-land. Described are the chemistry, drilling and environmental performance of potassium silicate. Field results are presented for a series of wells drilled in British Columbia, Canada using a potassium silicate based drilling fluid. These results show that drilling objectives were exceeded and further demonstrated ease of disposal with minimum impact on the environment.IntroductionLike many regions of the world, the regulatory direction in Western Canada is moving towards more stringent standards for the disposal of oil and water based drilling fluids and cuttings. Drilling wastes are typically scrutinized for their acute and chronic toxicity issues, the potential for negative physical impact on receiving soil, salt contamination and presence of unidentified contaminants. The approach of Alberta and British Columbia to lessening the impact of drilling wastes has been further tightening of allowable increases in receiving soil electrical conductivity (EC) and sodium absorption ratio (SAR). Load limits for certain contaminants have been broadened and lowered as measured by kg/ha.The introduction of potassium silicate drilling fluids in Western Canada provided a viable alternative to sodium silicate and at the same time, addressed environmental concerns related to the relatively high sodium loadings present in some of the drilling wastes. From a drilling perspective, there are several additional benefits that can be obtained by choosing a potassium silicate drilling fluid.Potassium silicate drilling fluids provide good shale inhibition and wellbore stability in reactive shales. They can be reused in multi-well drilling programs and are easy to dispose of with fairly low associated costs. The cost of the raw products and rig rentals for mud-related equipment are also low, especially when comparing these costs to that of an oil based mud system.Well DesignThe Petro Canada drill program for the winter of 2002/2003 called for two wells to be drilled at Milo and two wells at Clarke Lake. These are remote sites in the upper northeast corner of British Columbia. (figure #1). In the case of Milo, drilling is restricted to the winter months. Remoteness and restrictive drill times makes drilling more expensive and sensitive to logistics. It is paramount that the drilling fluid provide the necessary ROP and borehole stability to ensure completion of the winter drilling program.Borehole stability challenges are faced in the troublesome Fort Simpson shale. This shale is +>500m thickness and can be characterized as a reactive shale, which swells when contacted by fresh water, causing hole sloughing, possibility of stuck pipe and excessive reaming leading to large wellbore washout. Other common wellbore problems include background gas, well bore deviation and hydrogen sulphide gas.

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
