Abstract:

This dataset contains experimental data on the absorption of methane and CO2 into base drilling fluids from lab experiments conducted under varying pressures and superficial gas velocities conditions.

Purpose:

To obtain volumetric mass transfer coefficients of gas into non-aqueous drilling fluids base oils, which are used to better understand gas influx behavior in non-aqueous fluids during riser gas events.

Data Parameters and Units:

Pressure (psi), gas flow rate (ln/min), temperature (K), and superficial velocity (m/s).

Methods:

Gas was injected into bubble columns with stagnant fluids with various superficial gas velocity and under different pressures. The amount of gas dissolved in the test section was measured after specific time intervals and measurements were used to calculate the volumetric mass transfer coefficients.
