.... Bentonite is used in different applications such as drilling fluid, leaching earth, and animal feed additive. 3 Sodium bentonite is more attractive in applications such as drilling due to its high swelling and good fluid loss control which makes it always in high demand. 4 & 5 The objectives...

Moreover, it covers various NPs’ types, concentrations, and sizes, which confirms its useability and coverability. drilling fluids nanoparticles filtrate invasion artificial neural networks modeling Proceedings of the ASME 2022 41st International Conference on Ocean...

... small diameter tests with model fluids may not always be relevant for, nor scalable to, field applications due to time, length, and other scales. Hence, there is a need for studies in controlled laboratory environments with various field application designed drilling fluids to improve engineering models...

...Abstract Abstract Drilling fluid (mud) serves various purposes in drilling operations, the most important being the primary well control barrier to prevent kicks and blowouts. Other duties include, but not limited to, maintaining wellbore stability, removing and transporting formation cuttings...

Hence, there is a need for studies in controlled laboratory environments with various field application designed drilling fluids to improve engineering models and practices...

...Abstract Abstract Yield Power Law (YPL) rheological model is commonly used to describe the pipe and annular flow of drilling fluids. However, the hydrodynamic behaviour of fluids with yield stress are difficult to predict because they exhibit an inherent plug (solid like) region where...

...Abstract Abstract In recent years, nanoparticles (NPs) have shown the potential to improve the performance of oil well fluids significantly. Several studies have reported the ability of NPs to produce improved properties of both water and oil-based drilling fluids. In this paper, hydrophobic...
