    Abstract: A friction reducer includes a polysaccharide-graft-water-soluble polymer is provided. A polysaccharide in an amount of from about 0.1 to 50% by weight (wt. %) may make up the polysaccharide-graft-water-soluble polymer. A wellbore treatment fluid is provided that includes an aqueous base fluid and the friction reducer in an amount up to about 10% of the wellbore treatment fluid. A method of using a wellbore treatment fluid includes the step of introducing the wellbore treatment fluid as previously provided into a wellbore.

    Abstract: A composition that includes a polymer-grafted graphene particle and oil-based drilling fluid is provided. At least one side of the graphene particle comprises a grafted polymer. A method of using an oil-based drilling fluid is also provided. The method includes introducing the oil-based drilling fluid into a wellbore and circulating the oil-based drilling fluid during drilling operations. The drilling fluid includes a polymer-grafted graphene particle and oil-based drilling fluid. At least one side of the graphene particle comprises a grafted polymer. The oil-based drilling fluid includes a range of from about 0.01 ppb to 10 ppb of the polymer-grafted graphene particle.

    Abstract: Degradable polymer additives are provided. The degradable polymer additives include a tracer functional group that is bonded to a base polymeric component by a hydrolysable covalent bond. The base polymeric component is a polysaccharide. The tracer functional group is selected from the group comprising a halogen-containing functional group, a substituted heterocyclic aromatic group, and combination thereof. A method utilizing the degradable polymeric additives in an altered drilling fluid is provided. Such a method includes introducing the altered drilling fluid into a wellbore and recovering an associated wellbore cutting from a depleted drilling fluid.

    Abstract: A system for determining a direction for drilling a well is disclosed. The system has a device in a portion of a conveyance mechanism comprising a cylindrical housing with at least one sensor that tracks a position of the portion during a drilling operation, the device being configured to obtain a plurality of drilling parameters, and a control system coupled to the device and configured to perform at least one reservoir simulation, and prepare a plurality of required parameters while drilling. The device uses an optimization box to simulate increasing an angle between a drilling direction and a maximum horizontal stress by calculating a minimum mud pressure required to prevent borehole collapse. The control system generates an engineering curve representative of each angle simulated and a corresponding mud weight or pressure, and the device and the control system identify an optimal direction corresponding to a minimum drilling mud pressure parameter.

    Abstract: Formation treatment compositions may include a surfactant and an aqueous acid solution or mixture. The surfactant may include one or more of C6-C20-fluoroalkylsulfonate, C6-C20-alkylarylsulfonate, C6-C20-alkylcycloalkylsulfonate, C6-C20-arylsulfate, C6-C20-alkylphosphonate, C6-C20-arylphosphonate, C6-C20-alkylpolyetherphosphate, C6-C20-alkylpolyetherphosphonate, C6-C20-alkylcarboxylate, C6-C20-arylcarboxylate, and polyoxyethyleneamine. In the formation treatment compositions, the surfactant may be configured to partially or fully adsorb on a carbonate formation to accelerate the partial dissolution of the formation. Methods of treating a formation may include introducing the formation treatment composition into a wellbore such that that the formation treatment composition contacts the formation.
