Preparation of a novel viscosifier for drilling fluid by sulfonation technology based on the enriched organic compounds in TNT red water

摘要

In this paper, sulfonates based on the enriched organic compounds in TNT red water have been prepared and their efficacy in water based drilling mud has been evaluated. The experimental results showed that the sulfonated products can be used as viscosifier for drilling fluid, which suggesting an attractive method for the possible commercial usage of waste red water.
