Optimization of nano-silica in enhancing the properties of synthetic based drilling fluids for tight gas reservoir conditions

The nano-silica in drilling fluids is commonly used to improve the performance of drilling fluids, mainly water and oil based muds. Tight gas reservoirs are experienced a myriad of problems during drilling. One of the problems is the gas influx into the wellbore because of the abnormal pore pressure...
