Abstract
The application of nano particles to measure the slurry viscosity of drilling fluid is the novelty of this paper. The primary objective of drilling slurry is to improve rheological properties and displacement efficiency of the drilling fluid system. Oil well slurries depend on its homogeneity of additive concentrations, quality and quantity contribute the placement and success of a well drilling cementing operation. This experimental research investigated the High Performance Drilling Fluid System (HPDFS). Results show the increase in the amount of shear stress (0 to 30 Pa) decreases the amount of viscosity in both types of with and without nano particles. However, the values of viscosity increase from 100 cp to 200 cp when shear stress increases from 30 to 45 for drilling fluid contains nano particles.
