Shear stress overshoot behavior was studied in four drilling fluid systems and ten bentonite dispersions. These overshoot properties, also described by the American Petroleum Institute as gel strengths, were measured after gelation times of 10 s to 24 h at temperatures of 20-80 °C. Two different rheometers were used to measure overshoot behavior. Gel strength development with time followed a first-order model. Gel development rates at 20 °C varied from 0.005 to 0.01 min for drilling fluid systems and from 0.0004 to 0.02 min for bentonite dispersions. Increasing the gelation temperature for each drilling fluid system caused an increase in the gelling rate constant. Comparison of gel strengths in bentonite dispersions were made using a Fann 35 A viscometer and a Weissenberg Rheogoniometer. Higher gel strength values observed using the Rheogoniometer were believed to be due to differences in instrument spring stiffness and fixture inertia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
