    Optimization of Mucuna solannie Mud Rheological Parameters

    By N. Uwaezuoke, K. C. Igwilo, S. I. Onwukwe, B. Obah

    Abstract: The need to optimize rheological parameters by the use of appropriate techniques is the best consideration in drilling mud rheology studies. Various methods are used considering experience on the side of the user, available methods, and flow in pipe or annulus and depending on whether study is done in the field or for research purposes. Mucuna solannie is a legume, and the seed is a viscosifier used in foods in …

    Biopolymer Substitution and Impact on Cuttings Transport of a Lightweight Water-Based Drilling Fluid

    By N. Uwaezuoke, S. I. Onwukwe, K. C. Igwilo, B. Obah

    Abstract: The aim is to determine the impact of substitution of a local material for another, on rheological properties and hole cleaning capability. A local biopolymer Mucuna solannie was used as a substitute for another biopolymer, Detarium microcarpum, primarily as a viscosifier in a water-based drilling fluid. Tests were carried out using standard equipment and specifications. Variations in transport efficiency and required minimum fluid flow rate at same cuttings concentration (CC) …

    Offshore Floating Wind Turbines: A Viable Major Source of Clean Power in Nigeria

    By N. Uwaezuoke, M.I. Onyejekwe

    Abstract: Renewable energy is one of the most exciting growth areas in the energy market. Offshore technology in the oil and gas industry is also applicable in renewable energy. A wind turbine converts kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy and the mechanical energy is used to produce electricity. At sea, the wind is stronger and more consistent, areas are large, and the challenges associated with projects located onshore are …
