Heavy-weight materials such as barite (BaSO 4) is used in mud formulations to increase
density. In deeper formations where a higher hydrostatic pressure of the mud column is …

When drilling in fractured oil and gas formations, drilling fluid loss is prevalent, and polymer
gels are commonly utilized as lost circulation materials to plug fractures in loss zones. A high …

The selection of water-based mud for drilling a high-temperature and high-pressure (HTHP)
well is the choice of many drilling mud engineers. This choice of mud is more attractive …

Sagging has a detrimental outturn on the drilling effectuation and increases the drilling risks.
Drilling deviated wells and wells with high pressures and temperatures has a greater impact …

Heavyweight oil-well cement systems are designed for isolating intervals and supporting the
casing at deeper depths where high temperatures and pressures are encountered. The …

Enhancing drilling fluid performance in the oil and gas industry involves addressing various
criteria across technical, environmental, and economic aspects. Consequently, this study …

High temperature environment has many negative effects on the drilling fluid system. In
order to avoid or delay these negative effects, phase change materials (PLMs) microcapsule …

This work evaluated the 2-hydroxyphosphonylacetic acid (HPAA) as a depressant for calcite
in barite flotation when using sodium oleate (NaOl) as a collector. Micro-flotation results …

In deep formations, it is important to support the casing and isolate the permeable zones by
designing cement systems with high density. Appropriate rheology, high strength, low …

In this study, vermiculite was modified and used in the decolorization of wastewater
containing methylene blue. Taguchi experimental design method was applied to the …
