The sustainability of fossil fuel is not guaranteed as it is gradually depleting. Alternative ways
to this challenge are to generate biofuel from biomass and plastic solid wastes. Many …

In this study particle transportation has been predicted in a wellbore for an oil based drilling
fluid containing viscosity modifier using CFD simulation. The effects of fluid viscosity on …

Formation damage is a well-known problem that occurs during the exploration and
production phases of the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry. This study aimed to …

A synthetic-based drilling mud was formulated from derived ester using palm fruit pulp; with
primarily focus to evaluate its cuttings carrying potential. The formulated mud was tested for …

Sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) often thrive in reservoirs requiring seawater flooding to
enhance recovery of oil. A mix of sulphate ions, easily degradable organic compounds and …

The environmental and cost advantage of non-edible plant oil for potential base oil in oil and
gas drilling mud formulation is a drive for its use. The seed of Calophylluminophyllumthe …

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the refining of used lubricating oils (ULOs),
and their possible use as drilling fluids. 17 treatments were evaluated and sulfuric acid and …

In this study, an ablative pyrolyser having 27.1 cm inner diameter, 41.2 cm outer diameter,
the full chamber height of 74.7 cm and chamber volume of 40 litres was designed and …

Most current oil and gas wells are drilled with synthetic-based muds. During drilling, two
types of wastes: spent muds and drilled cuttings, are generally generated. Several methods …
