Ilminite and silicon nanoparticles water based mud to enhancing rheological properties and reducing fluid loss problems

Many oil and gas are using barite (BaSO4) to increase the density of drilling to play important roles in drilling operations to suspend cuttings, counter high formation pressure and to ensure wellbore stability. However, this study described the evaluation of an iron-based material, ilmenite (FeTiO3...
