viskositas, Gel Strength, dan Yield Point. Praktikum Ini bertujuan untuk menentukan
viskositas relative lumpur pemboran dengan menggunakan marsh funnel,
menentukan viskositas nyata, plastic viscosity, yield point, dan gel strength lumpur
pemboran dengan menggunakan viscometer fann vg, memahami rheology lumpur
pemboran dan memahami efek penambahan thinner dan percobaan ini yaitu
menggunakan marsh funnel, timbangan, viscometer, gelas ukur, mud mixer, air,
bentonite, dan cmc. Dalam pengukuran viscositas apparent, alat yang digunakan
adalah Marsh Funnel, prinsip kerjanya berapa lama waktu yang diperlukan lumpur
untuk mengalir melewati marsh funnel per 1 quart. Pada pengukuran Gel strength,
Yield point, dan viskositas platic kita menggunakan alat fann viscometer. Prinsip
kerjanya dengan mengaduk lumpur dengan kecepatan tertentu, yang mana saat
lumpur diputar partikel partiel padatan yang relative akan cenderung mecapai
kestabilannya, sehingga dapat membentuk gel, kita menggunakan lumpur yang
dicampur dengan additive cmc.
Aplikasi Lapangan dari percobaan ini adalah saat melakukan pemboran bit
akan menghancurkan batuan, kemudian sisa-sisa penghancuran batuan pun dapat
menggangu, maka disrkulasikan lumpur agar cutting (sisa-sisa penghancuran batuan)
tersebut dapat terangkat. Viscositas dan Gel strength merupakan bagian yang pokok
dalam sifat-sifat rheologi fluida pemboran. Pengukuran sifat—sifat rheologi fluida
pemboran penting mengingat efektivitas pengakatan cutting merupakan fungsi
langsung dari viscositas (Wibowo,2019). Sebab jika viskositas tida sesuai dengan
standar, maka cutting tidak akan terangkat dan justru terendapkan didasar lubang
akibatnya dapat menurunkan Rate of penetration(ROP) sehingga waktu pemboran
menjadi lama. Sedangkan aplikasi lapangan daro Gel strength adalah untuk Round
trip dan proses penyambungan pipa. Sifat Gel pada lumpur juga penting pada saat
rounf trip sehingga dapat mencegah cutting mengendap didasar sumur yang dapat
menyebabkan kesukaran pengeboran selanjutnya (Wibowo,2019). Sedangkan
Aplikasi lapangan Yield Point adalah dapat menentukan tekanan pompa yang sesuai
agar pada sumur vertical menghasilkan aliran lumpur pada anulus, agar lumpur dapat
mengangkat cutting.
In the Drilling Mud Analysis practicum entitled viscosity, Gel Strength, and
Yield Point measurements. This practicum aims to determine the relative viscosity of
drilling mud using marsh funnel, determine real viscosity, plastic viscosity, yield
point, and gel strength of drilling mud using a fann vg viscometer, understand the
rheology of drilling mud and understand the effect of adding thinner and this
experiment is using marsh funnel, scales, viscometer, measuring cup, mud mixer,
water, bentonite, and cmc . In apparent viscosity measurement, the tool used is the
Marsh Funnel, the working principle is how long it takes for sludge to flow through
the marsh funnel per 1 quart. In measuring Gel strength, yield point, and platic
viscosity we use a fann viscometer. The principle works by stirring the mud at a
certain speed, which when the sludge is rotated relative solid particles will tend to
reach its stability, so that it can form a gel, we use sludge mixed with cmc additives.
Viscosity is a measure that expresses the viscosity of a fluid that expresses the
size of friction in the fluid. The greater the viscosity of the fluid, the more difficult a
fluid is to flow and also shows the more difficult an object moves in the fluid
(Mulyono., 2010). Viscosity that is too high causes the Penetration rate (Rop) to
drop, high pressure loss and drill mud is difficult to separate from gas, It is difficult
to release gas and cutting mud on the surface. While the viscosity is too small, the
cutting lift is not good and the mud ballast materials are deposited. (Primary, 2016).
Gel Strength serves to show the ability of mud to hold or float drill shale when
not in the drilling process (Satiyawara, 2019). When circulation stops that plays a role
is gel strength. The sludge will become gel if there is no circulation. This is caused by
the force of attraction between the particles of sludge solids. Gel Strength that is too
small will cause the deposition of cutting or sand when the circulation of mud stops.
While Gel Strength that is too high is difficult for the pump to load high circulation
(Pratama, 2016). Yiedl Point is a measure of attraction between particles of solids in
mud. Yiedl point the too low can result in increased circumlual pressure, difficult to
stir in tensile and tends to hold gas in mud (Ginting, 2018).
The field application of this experiment is when drilling the bit will destroy
the rock, then the remnants of rock destruction can interfere, then the mud is
circulated so that the cuttings (rock crushing remnants) can be lifted. Viscosity and
Gel strength are important parts of the rheological properties of drilling fluids.
Measurement of the rheological properties of the drilling fluid is important
considering that the effectiveness of cutting removal is a direct function of viscosity
(Wibowo, 2019). This is because if the viscosity does not meet the standard, the
cutting will not be lifted and instead settles to the bottom of the hole, which can
reduce the Rate of penetration (ROP) so that the drilling time becomes longer. While
the field application of Gel Strength is for round trips and pipe joining processes. The
gel properties of the mud are also important during round trips so as to prevent
cuttings from settling at the bottom of the well which can cause further drilling
difficulties (Wibowo, 2019). While the Yield Point field application is to be able to
determine the appropriate pump pressure so that the vertical well produces mud flow
in the annulus, so that the mud can lift the cuttings.
