An important aspect of hydrocarbon drilling is the usage of drilling fluids, which remove drill
cuttings and stabilize the wellbore to provide better filtration. To stabilize these properties …

Robust dual barrier systems are crucial for well integrity. Regulators and industry have
consistently raised the concerns in such systems regarding the leak pathways and its failure …

For hundreds of years, hydrocarbons have been the primary source of energy for
civilizations, and they continue to be essential for carrying out daily tasks throughout all …

Today, the high-performance rheological and filtration properties of nanosized particles
(NPs) in water-based muds (WBMs) are continuously reported. Nevertheless, NP's …

In this study, the influence of a hybrid coagulation/flocculation process on the electrokinetic
of highly stable bentonite suspension has been examined. Choline chloride (ChCl) based …

High-performance drilling fluid was designed for unconventional reservoirs to minimize the
formation damage and borehole instability using organophilic clay treated with …

Particles size distribution (PSD) is introduced as a tool for analysis of bentonite aggregation
and swelling kinetics. Raw Ca-bentonite was purified using a combined wet sieving and …

The cement sheath between casing and formation is required to have long-term
sustainability for the longer life of the well. Different formulations based on different additives …

Filtrate reducer is a drilling fluid additive that can effectively control the filtration loss of
drilling fluid to ensure the safe and efficient exploitation of oilfields. It is the most widely used …

With the development of the oil industry and the increasingly complex drilling environment,
