This work compares the experimental results of the effects of drilled shale on the formulated
oil-in-water emulsion drilling mud using biodiesel produced from waste vegetable oil (WVO) …

Due to stringent environmental regulations on the disposal and management of the
traditional diesel oil-based mud used for drilling difficult formations such as shale, there is …

The formulation of an oil-based mud was made possible with the oil extracted from rubber
