ABSTRACT: This technical paper evaluates the fluid loss
property of Annona muricata and Carica papaya, prepared and measured as
per API standard. This is a laboratory measurements carried out using low
temperature and low pressure filter press. The prepared fluids were
supplemented with 2 ppb XCD polymer product to enhance their carrying capacity. Their characteristics and
commercial availabilities were also investigated. The 30 minutes filtrate volumes at 5 ppb, 10 ppb, 15 ppb and 20 ppb were obtained. The graph of concentrations
versus the volume of the filtrate obtained was plotted. It was discovered that
the concentration increases with decrease in volume of fluid loss and impermeable
filtered mud cake was also obtained. Though, both gave good
results, but the results of Annona
muricata under the same conditions and concentrations were better than that
of Carica papaya.
