Evaluation of drilling muds enhanced with modified starch for HPHT well applications

Abstract The use of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in oil and gas well drilling operations has improved the filtration loss and mud cake properties of drilling muds. The introduction of starch has also reduced, for example, the viscosity, fluid loss, and mud cake properties of the  drilling fluids. H...
