METHOD FOR PRODUCING ORGANIC-BASED FLUID LOSS ADDITIVES

Abstract

ABSTRACT A method 100 for producing organic-based fluid loss additives for drilling fluids, comprising processing groundnut husk, guava leaves, and eucalyptus bark to form fine powders, treating the powders to extract bioactive compounds and remove impurities and mixing the treated powders with a drilling fluid base to create an additive that enhances fluid loss control. <>

Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0001] This invention generally relates to fluid loss control additives for drilling fluids, specifically organic-based additives derived from cost effective and sustainable agricultural waste.
BACKGROUND

[0002] The subject matter discussed in the background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in and of themselves may also correspond to implementations of the claimed technology.
[0003] Drilling fluids are critical for efficient drilling operations in the oil and gas industry, where fluid loss control is essential to maintain wellbore stability and minimize formation damage. Conventional fluid loss additives are often synthetic and , Claims:WE CLAIM:
1. A method 100 for producing organic-based fluid loss additives for drilling fluids, comprising:
processing groundnut husk, guava leaves, and eucalyptus bark to form fine powders;
treating the powders to extract bioactive compounds and remove impurities; and
mixing the treated powders with a drilling fluid base to create an additive that enhances fluid loss control.
2. The method 100 as claimed in claim 1, wherein the groundnut husk is treated with sodium hydroxide solution, filtered, washed, and neutralized before incorporation into the drilling fluid.
3. The method 100 as claimed in claim 1, wherein the guava leaves are boiled and centrifuged to extract bioactive compounds before incorporation.
4. The method 100 as claimed in claim 1, wherein the eucalyptus bark is treated with hydrochloric and sulfuric acid to enhance solubility and particle dispersion.
