Abstract
The hydrates are a naturally occurring solid composed of gas and water. Hydrates tend to form in water base fluids at higher pressures and lower temperatures. With the right combination of gas entrained in the drilling fluid, hydrates can form as a fluid cools while circulating up the wellbore, forming an ice-like substance. Hydrate can plug tubing (choke and kill lines, BOPs and riser), interfering with well control procedures. The aim of this work was to investigate the rheological behaviour of a typical WBM (Water Base Mud) drilling fluid under conditions suitable (in term of pressure, temperature and gas composition) for the formation of hydrates. From the experimental data it was possible to evaluate both the on-set of hydrate formation and the performance of additives for the prevention of hydrate formation.

The Italian Society of Rheology (SIR) organizes every two years the Italian Rheology Conference, which is the meeting point of the National and International rheological community to promote knowledge and discuss research in the field of rheology. The Conference consists of keynote lectures, oral communications and posters on topics related to all the thematic areas of rheology. The XIX edition will be held in the conference rooms of Plesso Belmeloro, in the city centre of Bologna, in June 16th-19th, 2026. Book your accommodation in Bologna well in advance, the city is a famous tourist destination and has limited availability of accommodations!
