Electrospinning has emerged as a versatile and accessible technology for fabricating polymer fibers, particularly for biological applications. Natural polymers or biopolymers …
Any improvement in drilling technology is critical for developing the oil and gas industry. The success of drilling operations largely depends on drilling fluid characteristics. Drilling fluids …
In this work, the numerical solution of pore volume and surface diffusion model (PVSDM) was developed and presented in detail. The finite difference approximations method was …
Water-based drilling muds, a more environment-friendly candidate than oil-based drilling muds, are wildly used for drilling oil and gas wells. When water-based drilling mud is used …

A novel terpolymer of acrylamide (AM), 4-vinylpyridine (VP), and 2-acrylamide-2- methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) was synthesized through free radical polymerization …
The drilling industry is motivated to develop high performance clay swelling inhibitors with good biodegradability and low toxicity. In this study, the non-ionic surfactant glycyrrhizin was …
The objective of this paper is to propose a simple and robust additive solution to improve the water-resistance of clay materials by revisiting a traditional recipe of vernacular construction …
Rheological and filtration properties of water based muds play vital roles to have a good drilling efficiency in high pressure high temperature (HPHT) environments. However, there …
Fluid loss prevention is a crucial factor in oil and gas drilling operations. In water-based drilling fluids, often called drilling muds, the colloidal structure made by bentonite begins to …
