Evaluation of a naturally derived tannin extracts biopolymer additive in drilling muds for high-temperature well applications

Abstract The formulations of drilling fluids using conventional clays are often faced with difficulties in the control of rheology, filtration and gelation, owing to the flocculation of the clay at the temperature above 250 °F. In this study, tannins were extracted from the bark wastes of Rhizophora...
