The operational use of nanoparticles (NPs) in drilling and completion fluids is still limited at
the present time, in part because of a lack of consistent evidence for and clarification of NP …

The aim of this study is to develop inhibitive drilling fluid systems generated from waste
materials that can contribute to the reduction of potential well instability problems caused by …

When drilling an oil and gas or geothermal well, the formation's ability to produce or flow
may be reduced because of exposure to the drilling fluid during the drilling operation. To …

In the filter cake formation process (FCFP), existing models have assumed that the particles
in drilling fluids are monosized, which is completely inconsistent with actual drilling fluids …

A study was conducted to assess the performance of granular and fibrous lost circulation
materials as preventative treatments and in remedial treatment of lost circulation in water …

Formation damage can occur through migration of drilling fluid particles and polymers into
porous formations. A methodology for assessing formation damage was applied to measure …

Industry testing procedures such as ANSI/API 13B-1 describe a method for measuring fluid
loss and studying filter-cake formation against a medium of either a filter paper or a porous …

The objective of the research was to optimise drilling fluid additives for wellbore
strengthening, preventing lost circulation and avoiding drilling fluid induced formation …

Lost circulation (downhole losses of drilling fluid) is defined by the absence or reduction of
drilling fluid pumped through the drill string while drilling the wells, which filtrates the …

The operational use of nanoparticles (NPs) in drilling and completion fluids is still limited at
the present time, in part due to lack of consistent evidence for-and clarification of-NP …
