Challenges associated with drilling operations are numerous and their adverse effect could
lead to severe damage or even shutting down of the drilling operations. Wellbore instability …

Water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs) are widely used for drilling oil and gas wells. Water-
based drilling fluids are considered economical and environmentally friendly compared to …

Any improvement in drilling technology is critical for develo** the oil and gas industry. The
success of drilling operations largely depends on drilling fluid characteristics. Drilling fluids …

Water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs), a more environment-friendly candidate than oil-based
are widely used for drilling oil and gas wells. However, wellbore instability due to active clay …

Abstract Low Salinity Water Injection (LSWI) has been a well-researched EOR method, with
several experimental and theoretical scientific papers reported in the literature over the past …

The oil and gas well drilling operations are primarily dependent on the shale inhibition
features of the drilling mud. Our current study describes the consequence of poly-acrylic acid …

The hydration and swelling caused by the contact of shale with water during oil and gas
drilling have caused many difficulties in drilling operations. Water-based drilling fluids …

In this work, we report the preparation of a novel partially aminated and inexpensive water-
soluble acrylic acid grafted activated carbon represented as Cg-AA-NH 2 for efficient …

One of the intriguing properties of clay minerals is swelling, which is considered an essential
characteristic for various geological processes, environmental science, and engineering …

This work presents a comprehensive review on the use of bio-inhibitors for stabilizing gas/oil
shales during drilling and hydraulic fracturing. The swelling and dispersion inhibiting …
