Effect of Corrosion Inhibitor Wp 1210 on Drilling Fluid Friction in Reducing Agents

摘要

The final report from Pan American Petroleum Corporation recommended the use of flax meal where high temperatures are not expected and Nalco RV-13 where high temperatures may be encountered (in either fresh water or seawater as drilling fluids) to reduce fluid friction in the drilling of the Mohole. Supplement 6, an extension of this subcontract, had as its objective the determination of what effect, if any, the use of corrosion inhibitors would have on the recommended fluid friction additives in either fresh water or seawater. The corrosion inhibitor selected for testing was Weilmuenster's Inc., WP 1210. The report presented here records the results of this study. The effects of the Weilmuenster corrosion inhibitor were evaluated by pumping tap water, synthetic seawater, and waters containing flax gum, RV-13, and corrosion inhibitor in both the small-scale and large-scale test apparatuses described in the final report.
