RESEARCH OF HYDROCARBON-BASED DRILLING SOLUTIONS

Drilling mud is a multicomponent, dispersed colloidal system with specific physical and chemical properties. It is important to dispose of drilling mud. Hydrocarbon-based drilling mud was taken as the object of research. Mineral oils “VMGZ” and “I-5A” were used as hydrocarbon-based drilling mud, and synthetic oil “SHELLSOL” was used for comparison. These oils were treated with asphalt-resin additives. During the research, the viscosities of these oils before and after treatment with additives were analysed at different temperatures. As the temperature increased, a decrease in viscosity was observed.
