Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a composite fluid including an electrically insulating foundation fluid having a dielectric constant and a dielectric strength, and an additive combined with the foundation fluid that results in a composite fluid having a dielectric constant and a dielectric strength greater than the dielectric constant and the dielectric strength of the foundation fluid.
Claims24
A composite fluid, comprising:
- an electrically insulating foundation fluid having a first dielectric constant and a first dielectric strength;
- and
- a single additive combined with the foundation fluid that results in a composite fluid having a second dielectric constant greater than the first dielectric constant and a second dielectric strength greater than the first dielectric strength.
A method for creating a composite fluid, comprising:
- providing an electrically insulating foundation fluid having a first dielectric constant and a first dielectric strength;
- and
- adding a single additive to the foundation fluid that results in a composite fluid having a second dielectric constant greater than the first dielectric constant and a second dielectric strength greater than the first dielectric strength.
A method of drilling a wellbore, comprising
- forming a wellbore in a formation with a drill bit attached to a drill string;
- and
- pumping a drilling fluid through the drill string, the drill bit and the wellbore, the drilling fluid comprising:
- an electrically insulating foundation fluid having a first dielectric constant and a first dielectric strength;
- and
- a single additive combined with the foundation fluid that results in a composite fluid having a second dielectric constant greater than the first dielectric constant and a second dielectric strength greater than the first dielectric strength.
