The world's energy demand is steadily increasing where it has now become difficult for
conventional hydrocarbon reservoir to meet levels of demand. Therefore, oil and gas …

As the demand for hydrocarbons increases, the search frontiers for petroleum and natural
gas deposits keep being pushed towards unconventional terrains. An example of an …

Experimental data is presented for the flow of bentonite–water dispersions, modeled as
Herschel–Bulkley fluids, for the pressure loss at different flow rates covering laminar …

In this study, the effect of polymer structure, the degree of hydrolysis, chemical structure of
monomer in the backbone, and charge distribution of monomer groups on rheological and …

Temperature affects significantly the rheological behavior of neat water Wyoming Na-
bentonite dispersions. The results of a very systematic study are presented regarding …

With the increased exposure to progressively complex ores, there is growing concern over
the effects of phyllosilicate gangue minerals. These minerals present challenges during ore …

Effective filtration loss control under high temperature and high salinity environments is a
great challenge in oil and gas drilling engineering. In this study, a core-shell structural nano …

In order to develop high-performance water-based drilling fluid with the aim of meeting the
increasing requirement of drilling industry, highly inhibitive and high-temperature-resistant …

The increasing demand for energy sources has led to oil field exploration under inhospitable
conditions, where non-aqueous drilling fluids are commonly used due their physical and …

Surge and swab pressures have been known to cause formation fracture, lost circulation,
and well-control problems. Accurate prediction of these pressures is crucially important in …
