Closed-bottle biodegradation test for synthetic-based drilling fluids under Australian conditions

Biodegradation rate, along with acute and chronic toxicity, is an important factor in determining the overall environmental performance of drilling fluids (SBFs) used in synthetic-based mud (SBM) formulations. The closed-bottle anaerobic biodegradation test (CBT) is one of the three criteria set by...
