Abstract:This study provides a detailed characterization and evaluation
of Claytone-EM as a rheological additive to enhance the performance
of oil-based drilling fluids (OBDFs) under high-pressure, high-temperature
(HPHT) conditions. It also offers a comparative evaluation of the
effectiveness of Claytone-EM with an existing organoclay, analyzing
their mineral and chemical compositions, morphologies, and particle
sizes. A series of experiments are performed to evaluate Claytone-EM’s
influence on crucial drilling mud pr… Show more
