Abstract:<p>At-balance drilling technology applications demand the use of
special drilling fluids, For example, colloidal-gas-aphron fluids (CGA) are being deployed to good effect in drilling
applications. GCA-based drilling fluids have physico-chemical
attributes that enable them to usefully influence and control downhole
conditions. Furthermore, the involvement of nanoparticles and surfactants in
their formulations enhances the performance and stability of CGA suspensions. This
study describes the stability an… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
