Formulating a novel drilling mud using bio-polymers, nanoparticles, and SDS and investigating its rheological behavior, interfacial tension, and formation damage

Abstract Formation damage is a well-known problem that occurs during the exploration and production phases of the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry. This study aimed to develop a new drilling mud formulation by utilizing eco-friendly bio-polymers, specifically Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC)...
