Growth of ZnO Nanorods in Clay Matrix to Ensure Uniform Dispersion in Drilling Fluids

Abdo J., Haneef D., Sultan Qaboos University, OM

The rheology of drilling fluids plays an important role in controlling drilling operations. The use of modern equipment and most updated technology is wasted if it is not complimented by a compatible drilling fluid. Severe [...]

Nanoparticles: Promising Solution to Overcome Stern Drilling Problems

Abdo J., Danish M., Sultan Qaboos University, Oman, OM

General solution to overcome stern and frequently occurring drilling problems lies in controlling the rheology of drilling fluids. Pipe sticking, lost circulation, erosion, formation damage, thermal instability, poor hole cleaning, high torque and drag are [...]
