An approach to improve the cuttings carrying capacity of nanosilica based muds

Rheological and filtration properties of water based muds play vital roles to have a good drilling efficiency in high pressure high temperature (HPHT) environments. However, there are many occasions where controlling the variation of mud properties due to disintegration of additives is barely possib...
