....) in brine solutions. In particular, The gas solubility in brines is expressed in terms of molar components and ionic strength of each salt. The expression contains unique/characteristic parameters for each component (gas, anions and cations). These parameters for anions and cations of typical formation...

... drilling fluids, which have adequate characteristics such as lubricity, shale inhibition and low toxicity. In offshore conditions a gas kick is of major concern, as formation gas will dissolve in the organic compound of the synthetic-based drilling fluid. The better understanding of gas solubility is very...

... pressure, gas solubility in the liquid, formation volume factor and specific gravity of the gas-liquid mixture. The gas solubility tells us the amount of gas that the mud can incorporate, while the bubble pressure determines at which pressure this gas would evolve from solution. The formation volume...

... to achieve the safety requirements in a cost-effective scenario. The better understanding of gas solubility in synthetic based drilling fluids plays a fundamental role in terms of preventive (kick detection) and corrective (kick circulation out of the hole) well control practices. The present work involves...

... Base Oil = No.2 Diesel Brine Salinity = 10,000 ppm NaCl GAS SOLUBILITY While it is possible to determine bubble point pressure using an equation of state model, it was found to be easier and more accurate to rely on an empirical correlation for gas solubility. The general shape of a gas...
