Synthesis and optimization of 2-ethylhexyl ester as base oil for drilling fluid formulation
A stable ester was synthesized to overcome the ester hydrolysis problem during the drilling of oil or gas wells using a conventional ester-based drilling fluid. The thermal and hydrolytic stability of the produced ester was high owing to the transesterification method employed in this study. The rea...
