  • Can hydrophilic Gilsonite nanoparticles be used in water-based drilling mud?
  • The purpose of this study is to use hydrophilic Gilsonite nanoparticles (HGNs) in a water-based drilling mud (WBM) as an environmentally friendly fluid. The physicochemical properties of natural Gilsonite and hydrophilic Gilsonite (HG) were reported previously [ 29 ].
  • Does tio2/polyacrylamide nanocomposite improve water-based drilling fluid properties?
  • The effect of the TiO2/polyacrylamide nanocomposite on water-based drilling fluid properties. Powder Technol. 272, 113–119 (2015). Aftab, A., Ismail, A., Khokhar, S. & Ibupoto, Z. H. Novel zinc oxide nanoparticles deposited acrylamide composite used for enhancing the performance of water-based drilling fluids at elevated temperature conditions. J.
  • What is Gilsonite Used for?
  • As an integral component of premium drilling fluid products, Gilsonite actively improves drilling efficiencies while reducing costs and minimizing the HSE impact associated with most drilling fluid additives. Gilsonite or Natural Asphalt has long been used in oilfields as a fluid loss additive in drilling fluids.
  • How rheological properties and filtration loss affect drilling mud performance?
  • Rheological properties and filtration loss Fluid rheology is one of the significant factors affecting the performance of drilling muds. Table 2 shows the calculated values of the rheological properties and filtration loss related to the base and sample muds along with the HGNs before and after the hot roll process for 4 h at 149 °C.
