The continuous growth of energy requirements, together with diminishing production,
necessitates tireless efforts to develop new technology frontiers in oilfield operations. The …

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 …
