  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR NEUTRALIZING HYDROGEN SULFIDE DURING DRILLING
    Publication number: 20200095490
    Abstract: A method to neutralize hydrogen sulfide in a wellbore during drilling operations is provided. The method comprising the steps of mixing an amount of scavenger into a drilling mud to produce a scavenger-containing drilling mud such that the scavenger-containing drilling mud has a scavenging capacity, wherein the drilling mud is at a target pH, and introducing the scavenger-containing drilling mud into the wellbore during drilling operations, where the scavenger-containing drilling mud is operable to work with a drill bit to drill the wellbore, where the amount of scavenger in the scavenger-containing drilling mud is operable to irreversibly react with hydrogen sulfide present in the drilling mud to produce a scavenged hydrogen sulfide.
    Type: Application
