Strengthening shale wellbore with silica nanoparticles drilling fluid

Strengthening shale wellbore with silica nanoparticles drilling fluid

Nanoparticles have been widely used to reduce wellbore instability problems of shale formation. In this paper, nanoparticle-containing water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs) and oil-based drilling fluids (OBDFs) were evaluated by running three new tests including spontaneous imbibition, swelling rate a...
