Nanoparticles (NPs) as a nanotechnologies unit have a huge potential for improving drilling
fluids. However, the role of NPs in this field is still in its infancy and consequently has …

Nanomaterials are engineered materials with at least one dimension in the range of 1–100
nm. Nanofluids—nanoscale colloidal suspensions containing various nanomaterials—have …

Production from unconventional hydrocarbon resources, such as shale gas, shale oil,
deepwater and arctic reservoirs requires advanced drilling and extraction technologies …

Nano and micron materials are investigated in water-based drilling fluid (WBDF) to improve
