The oil and gas industry is often challenged with serious problems like high cost of oil field
chemicals and environmental toxicity issues of commonly used synthetic oil field chemicals …

The non-biodegradable additives used in controlling drilling fluid properties cause harm to
the environment and personal safety. Thus, there is a need for alternative drilling fluid …

The objective of this work is to develop an eco-friendly drilling fluid additive to regulate
filtrate and mud cake thickness as well as to assess other drilling fluid properties. The …

Conventional chemical additives used in controlling drilling fluid properties have a severe
drawback on the environment and personnel safety. The commercially available additives …

Rheological and filtration properties of drilling fluid contribute a vital role in successful
drilling operations. Rheological parameters such as apparent viscosity (AV), plastic viscosity …

Serious problems will be presented due to using conventional chemical additives to regulate
the drilling mud properties, as they have health, safety, and environmental side effects. Thus …

The aim of this study is to develop inhibitive drilling fluid systems generated from waste
materials that can contribute to the reduction of potential well instability problems caused by …

Environmental issues such as air pollution, global warming, toxicity of water and food
sources, biodiversity loss and climate change have become growing global concerns …

The development of offshore oil and gas requires environmental protection during the
drilling process. However, the existing drilling fluid additives cannot form an efficient …

Maintaining and regulating the rheological properties of the drilling mud at the desired level
is essential for successful drilling operations. Bentonite is the key additive used in most …
