Formation damage is one of the most challenging problems that occurs during the lifetime of
a well. Despite numerous previous studies, an organized review of the literature that …

Weighting agents such as barite, micromax, ilmenite, and hematite are commonly added to
drilling fluids to produce high-density fluids that could be used to drill deep oil and gas wells …

During drilling the oil and gas wells, the drilling fluid is used for many purposes in the drilling
operations. The mud filtrate might invade the formation, and as a result, alterations will occur …

Laboratory filtration experiments are employed to investigate effective well killing while
minimizing its impacts on surrounding rocks. The novelty of this experimental study lies in …

The oil and gas industry is currently witnessing a notable shift towards automation and
digitalization, driven by cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine …

During drilling operations, the filtrate fluid of the drilling mud invades the drilled rock. The
invading filtrate fluid will interact with the rock and therefore alter the rock internal …

Addressing environmental concerns in extracting and producing hydrocarbon resources
requires environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluid (WBDF) additives. These …

Drilled formations are commonly invaded by drilling fluids during the drilling operations, and
as a result, the rock pore system will have alterations that consequently alter the rock …

The occurrence of wellbore mechanical failure is a consequence of the interaction among
factors such as in situ stress, rock strength, and engineering procedures. The process of …

Precipitation of the scale in the oil and gas reservoirs, surface and subsurface equipment,
and processing and production facilities is a big problem as it affects petroleum production …
