Hydrogen future depends on large-scale storage, which can be provided by geological
formations (such as caverns, aquifers, and depleted oil and gas reservoirs) to handle …

Wellbore stability in shale is a recurring crisis during oil and gas well drilling. The adsorption
of water and ions from drilling fluid by shale, which causes clay swelling, is the primary …

The adsorption process is one of the most cost-effective methods for eliminating various
types of pollutants from water. Clay minerals can be converted into biosorbents for …

Indubitably, drilling fluid is the most crucial component of drilling operations. With the current
exploration of hydrocarbons in deep water horizons, unconventional formations, and …

Water-based mud (WBM) is an environmentally acceptable drilling fluid. However, it makes
shale to be prone to swelling owing to its interaction with active clays. Shale swelling makes …

The present research work revolves around the evaluation of the elimination of the cationic
dye methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution by the exploitation of natural clay (TMG) …

Clay is a naturally occurring material that can be converted to different clay minerals through
thermal treatments, and can be used for the development of different products. Clays and …

The application of cellulose derivatives including carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC),
polyanionic cellulose (PAC), hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), and …

Emulsion-based drilling fluids are critical in the development of oil and natural gas from
unconventional reservoirs due to their superior wellbore stabilizing capacity, good erosion …

The field of nanotechnology has shown promise in addressing major problems and
improving drilling effectiveness. An overview of the difficulties encountered during oil and …
