The continuously growing universal demand for energy and declining production is fascinating the research community to invent novel technologies. The oil and gas industry is not only focusing on the discovery of unexplored reserves but also converging to the irrecoverable hydrocarbon reserves. For this purpose, a clear understanding of the vital features of drilling fluid can help to design drilling fluid of selective nature that can overcome the major issues come across during the oil and gas drilling operation. The stability of the drilling fluid under extremely high temperature and high pressure (HTHP) and the environmental footprint during the oil recovery process are major issues. To get stable, simpler, and more economical drilling fluids, a wide variety of nanomaterials have been widely evaluated under varying conditions. The carbon-based nanomaterials demonstrate the unprecedented physicochemical features that are considered very crucial for the smart drilling fluid formulation. The carbon-based nanoparticles (CNPs) are relatively new in the drilling technology, and they are not implemented up to their maximum potential. Several researchers have explored CNPs, their derivatives, and composites to formulate drilling fluid with required features. The resultant fluid system demonstrates better rheological features, friction reduction, low environmental impact, and greater stability under HTHP drilling conditions. However, there are still challenging aspects that must be addressed to take full advantage of the capabilities of CNPs. The present work is a comprehensive review of the recent progress in fluid systems based on carbon nanomaterials, because of their huge impact on the drilling fluid rheology and environmentally friendly nature. The nature of carbon-based nanomaterials, size, shape, and concentration are critically evaluated and discussed in the current article. Finally, this review paper identifies the opportunities for future research of the nanocarbon-based drilling fluids and their applications in the gas and oil exploration sector has been discussed.

“…20,21 A variety of graphene materials have been developed as shale inhibitors, which have graed with cetyltrimethylammonium, glucopyranose and polyethyleneimine. [22][23][24] The inhibition effect of graphene materials was better than that of traditional inhibitors, but the preparation process was complex, and the maximum temperature of the performance tests was only 65.5 °C. Therefore, the thermal stability of graphene composites at higher temperatures needs to be studied.…”

“…On the other hand, most of the prominent polymers used in the drilling industry may show less efficiency in high-salinity environments. Therefore, researchers have focused on synthesizing nanocomposites (NCs) such as acrylamide-based NCs to improve the filtration properties of drilling fluids. − Hamed Movahedi et al evaluated the filtration control of WBDFs using a graphene-based nanocomposite under static and dynamic conditions . The obtained results showed that the addition of the 0.7 wt % GO-PAM NC could reduce the erosion rate of the mud cake by more than 60% under turbulent flow conditions, while this value was 20% for GO nanosheets in the same concentration.…”

In this study, the potential of using a polyacrylamide-silica nanocomposite (PAM-S) to control the filtration properties of bentonite water-based drilling muds under different salinity conditions was evaluated. Static filtration tests under low-pressure/low-temperature (LPLT) conditions accompanied by rheological measurements have been carried out to analyze the role of silica nanoparticles (NPs) and nanocomposites (NCs) in the base fluid properties. Moreover, high-pressure/high-temperature (HPHT) static filtration was also investigated to evaluate the thermal stability of PAM-S. Afterward, dynamic filtration has been conducted in a filtration cell equipped with an agitating system with a disk-type impeller to investigate the hydrodynamic and formation of a filter cake under shear flow conditions. Fluid flow velocity and wall shear stress (WSS) distribution over the filter cake were analyzed using an exact 3D computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation. A transparent filtration cell with a camera was used to accurately record the fluid flow field inside the filter press and validate the CFD results. The obtained results indicated that adding silica NPs at a concentration of less than 2 wt % increases the fluid loss due to reducing rheological properties such as yield point. While silica NPs could not significantly change the mud properties, the experimental results showed that, under both LPLT and HPHT conditions, the PAM-S NC could reduce the total filtration loss by 70% at a low concentration of 0.75 wt %. Moreover, during dynamic filtration, the results indicated that there is a linear relationship between the cake thickness and the inverse of WSS at different operating pressures. However, no correlation could be found between predeposited mud cake erosion and WSS. At a rotating disk speed of 1000 rpm, more than 60% of the predeposited mud cake was eroded after 30 min for a saline mud sample while for the NC-treated mud sample cake erosion is considerably reduced and reaches up to 20% at 1.5 wt % PAM-S.
