Drilling operation is an activity that can not be separated from the
activities of the production wells. The purpose of the drilling activity not only
do drilling safely and efficiently, but also being able to keep the well can
produce well. In the well of the formations penetrated, XXX is the formation
of clay and shale. On the formations of shale layers there is active and if it
reacts with water giving rise to several problems including the series of pipe
wedged, clay cover a series of pipes, and swelling cutting.
These problems can be overcome with the use of KCL polymer
optimization and oil base mud to address swelling clay.
From the results of the analysis and calculation of the well "XXX", the
value of the CEC of 19.5 meq/100 gr. so his clay types i.e. types of illite can
react with water. In addressing the matter, use oil base mud and 13% KCl
polymer. Between oil base mud and 13% KCL polymer to cope with swelling
clay, the percentage of oil base mud that is best used to resolve swelling clay.
This can be evidenced by the reading on the swellmeter, the value of the
percent of that potential to overcome the swelling clay of 0.44%.
