To address the problems of wall collapse, cuttings slurrying, and scaling on the inner wall of
the drill pipe, which often occur in small-diameter diamond wireline core drilling, the …

Mud shale hydration and swelling are major challenges in the development of water-based
drilling fluids (WBDFs). In this work, the inhibition performance and inhibition mechanism of …

This study focuses on the feasibility of reusing formation water as inhibitive base water for
water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs) to reduce the need for freshwater and commercial salts …

Drilling fluid is a major component of a successful drilling process. However, the interaction
between the drilling fluid and the shale with hydration property has led to the high fluid loss …

Inhibiting shale hydration is crucial for wellbore stability in oil and gas drilling operations
when using water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs). In the study, a hydrophobically modified …

To deal with the problems of wellbore collapse, mud making and mud lining in drilling
strings, a solid-free anti-collapse drilling fluid with polyvinyl alcohol as inhibitor was …

Summary The Permian Basin, located in southeastern New Mexico and west Texas, is
treated as the largest province of oil and gas production in the United States (US). The …

Clay swelling is one of the major challenges of the oil and gas industry during the drilling
operation. Water-based muds (WBM) are commonly used in drilling operations due to their …

In this article, the inhibitive properties of polyether diamine and formate salts (mainly sodium
formate and potassium formate) were compared through a bentonite inhibition test, a shale …

Conventional oil based drilling fluids or muds (OBMs) using organophilic clay as viscosifier
and rheological control agent cannot carry drill cuttings and suspend weighting materials …
