“…The 4.0 wt % ACD nanofluid recorded the lowest friction factor of ∼0.32, representing a remarkable 54% reduction compared to water and corroborating the reductions seen in the Stribeck curves (see Figure c). This friction-reduction extent outperforms the best values achieved by bare silica nanoparticles (30–45%), amine-functionalized silica nanoparticles (38%), as well as carbon-based nanofluids such as s-doped carbon dots 30%, ammonium citrate-derived carbon dots 39%, graphite-derived quantum dots 33%, graphene oxide-derived quantum dots 42%, and graphene oxide 24% . Other organic-based lubricants including triethylamine, 3-amino-1-propanol, and 1,4-butylene could only offer 30, 12, and 30% reductions in friction factor of water, respectively, at their optimum loadings .…”

Despite the lower toxicity of water-based lubricants over nonrenewable petroleum-based analogues, they face challenges in achieving widespread adoption due to low stability and inadequate friction-reduction performance. To address this, a cost-effective nanoadditive is synthesized by expansive oxidation of asphaltenes to create biocompatible asphaltene-derived carbon dots [(ACDs); 5 nm]. These ACDs exhibit excellent water redispersibility, promoting long-term friction reduction and marking the first use of an asphaltene-based system for friction reduction in water or oil. Even at low loadings (0.2−4.0 wt %), ACDs significantly reduce friction on steel surfaces (>54%) with tribofilm stability surpassing pristine carbon dots, typical carbonbased graphene quantum dots, and inorganic nanomaterials (commercial 5 and 20 nm silica). The ACDs' attributes include high negative zeta potential, considerable water uptake, varied functional groups, biocompatibility, and a nanodisc shape conducive to stable tribofilm formation through effective particle stacking. The scalable synthesis, high yield, and impressive water redispersibility of ACDs position them favorably for commercial water-based lubrication.

“…Drilling fluids with the presence of welding wastes increase dramatically compared with the base drilling mud and commercial GO drilling fluid. This might be due to the presence of the solid form welding waste, which increases the flow resistance of the drilling fluids [11,41]. PV increases when the mechanical friction between solids and liquids increases.…”

Throughout the world, the construction industry produces significant amounts of by-products and hazardous waste materials. The steel-making industry generates welding waste and dusts that are toxic to the environment and pose many economic challenges. Water-based drilling fluids (WBDF) are able to remove the drill cuttings in a wellbore and maintain the stability of the wellbore to prevent formation damage. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that reports the application of welding waste and its derived graphene oxide (GO) as a fluid-loss additive in drilling fluids. In this research, GO was successfully synthesized from welding waste through chemical exfoliation. The examination was confirmed using XRD, FTIR, FESEM and EDX analyses. The synthesized welding waste-derived GO in WBDF is competent in improving rheological properties by increasing plastic viscosity (PV), yield point (YP) and gel strength (GS), while reducing filtrate loss (FL) and mud cake thickness (MCT). This study shows the effect of additives such as welding waste, welding waste-derived GO and commercial GO, and their amount, on the rheological properties of WBDF. Concentrations of these additives were used at 0.01 ppb, 0.1 ppb and 0.5 ppb. Based on the experiment results, raw welding waste and welding waste-derived GO showed better performance compared with commercial GO. Among filtration properties, FL and MCT were reduced by 33.3% and 39.7% with the addition of 0.5 ppb of raw welding-waste additive, while for 0.5 ppb of welding waste-derived GO additive, FL and MCT were reduced by 26.7% and 20.9%, respectively. By recycling industrial welding waste, this research conveys state-of-the-art and low-cost drilling fluids that aid in waste management, and reduce the adverse environmental and commercial ramifications of toxic wastes.

“…The combination of smart polymers and nanosilica is an effective method for preventing free water intrusion into shale micronanopores during drilling and therefore assuring wellbore stability. Nano-SiO 2 has a strong potential for increasing the performance of low water-in-oil drilling fluids and high thermal stability with a decomposition temperature of 370 °C. − Another research demonstrates that the use of hybrid silicate, both organic and inorganic, as a film-forming agent significantly improved well stability in water-based drilling fluids . Another study revealed that silica NPs significantly improved shale inhibition with 96% shale recovery after hot rolling. , In comparison to their bulk form, the carbon-based nanostructures exhibit exceptional chemical, mechanical, physical, and electrical properties. , The carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) are being addressed to solve the technological and environmental difficulties associated with drilling.…”

Drilling fluids are an essential component of drilling operations in the oil and gas industry. Nanotechnology is being used to develop advanced drilling fluid additives. This study looked at the viability of synthesizing SiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 hybrid extending the Stober process followed by its addition in different concentrations to water-based drilling fluids and studying impact on the rheological and fluid loss properties of the fluids. The synthesized hybrid was analyzed using XRD, SEM, TGA, and FTIR. Subsequently, it was used to develop the water-based drilling mud formulations and subjected to measurements in accordance with API standard practices. The studies were carried out at various SiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 nanoparticle concentrations under before hot rolling (BHR) and after hot rolling (AHR) conditions. The outcomes demonstrated that the rheological and fluid loss properties were enhanced by the addition of SiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 nanoparticles, as it worked in synergy with other additives. Additionally, it was discovered that the nanoparticles improved the drilling fluid thermal stability. The experimental findings indicate a significant influence of SiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 nanoparticles on base fluid properties including rheology and fluid loss as the most remarkable, especially at higher temperatures. The significant improvements in yield point and 10 s gel strength were 55 and 42.8% under BHR and 216 and 140% under AHR conditions, respectively. Permeability plugging test (PPT) fluid loss was reduced by 69.6 and 87.2% under BHR and AHR conditions, respectively, when 0.5 lb/bbl nanoparticles were used in formulations. As a result, SiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 nanomaterial has the potential to be used as drilling fluid additive in water-based drilling fluids.
