“…Aftab et al [43] explored the effects of zinc oxide NP-acrylamide composite (ZnO-Am) on rheological and shale swelling behavior of conventional water-based drilling fluid. Results revealed that the rheological properties (e.g., AV, PV) were slightly increased upon addition of the ZnO-Am composite over the tested temperature range (up to 150 • F).…”

Nanomaterials are engineered materials with at least one dimension in the range of 1-100 nm. Nanofluids-nanoscale colloidal suspensions containing various nanomaterials-have distinctive properties and offer unprecedented potential for various sectors such as the energy, cosmetic, aerospace and biomedical industries. Due to their unique physico-chemical properties, nanoparticles are considered as very good candidates for smart drilling fluid formulation, i.e., fluids with tailor-made rheological and filtration properties. However, due to the great risk of adapting new technologies, their application in oil and gas industry is not, to date, fully implemented. Over the last few years, several researchers have examined the use of various nanoparticles, from commercial to custom made particles, to formulate drilling fluids with enhanced properties that can withstand extreme downhole environments, particularly at high pressure and high temperature (HP/HT) conditions. This article summarizes the recent progress made on the use of nanoparticles as additives in drilling fluids in order to give such fluids optimal rheological and filtration characteristics, increase shale stability and achieve wellbore strengthening. Type, size and shape of nanoparticles, volumetric concentration, addition of different surfactants and application of an external magnetic field are factors that are critically evaluated and are discussed in this article. The results obtained from various studies show that nanoparticles have a great potential to be used as drilling fluid additives in order to overcome stern drilling problems. However, there are still challenges that should be addressed in order to take full advantage of the capabilities of such particles. Finally the paper identifies and discusses opportunities for future research.

Application of nanoparticles in improvement of drilling fluid properties through effective control of fluid loss and rapid formation of thin, smooth and low permeable filter cake has gained considerable attention in recent years. In this study, calcium carbonate nanoparticle was synthesized by precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM), dynamic light scattering and Zeta-potential measurement. Water based bentonite drilling fluid was used as base fluid. Various concentrations of calcium carbonate nanoparticle (0.025-0.5 wt%) was added to water-based drilling fluid. Fluid loss volume, filter cake thickness and its surface morphology, and rheological properties of both base fluid and fluid containing calcium carbonate nanoparticles was measured and compared. Results show that addition of calcium carbonate nanoparticle greatly affects filtration properties and forms smoother cake surface. Optimum concentration of 0.07 wt% calcium carbonate nanoparticle was obtained which results in reduction of fluid loss volume and filter cake thickness by 26% and 64% respectively while minor change in rheological behavior was observed. SEM image showed smoother cake surface of drilling fluid with calcium carbonate nanoparticle as additive compared to base drilling fluid. Considerable improvement in filtration properties using acid soluble CaCO 3 nanoparticles can help in minimizing fluid leak-off and formation damage of producing layers and more effective well cleanup for fast oil and gas production.

“…For the past years, several studies have been conducted on the applications of numerous nanocomposites in drilling fluid such as polyacrylamide/clay nanocomposite [ 23 ], nanocarboxymethyl cellulose/polystyrene core-shell nanocomposite [ 24 ], polymer nanocomposite [ 25 ], nanosilica polymer composite [ 17 ], TiO 2 -polyacrylamide [ 26 ], clay nanocomposite [ 27 ], ZnO-clay composite, and ZnO-Am nanocomposite [ 27 , 28 ]. The outcome of these studies presented a homogenous dispersion of nanocomposites in the drilling fluids to serve multiple functions simultaneously, for instance, fluid loss control, high thermal stability, enhanced rheological performance and a reduction in mud cake thickness.…”

Nanocomposite materials have distinctive potential for various types of captivating usage in drilling fluids as a well-designed solution for the petroleum industry. Owing to the improvement of drilling fluids, it is of great importance to fabricate unique nanocomposites and advance their functionalities for amplification in base fluids. There is a rising interest in assembling nanocomposites for the progress of rheological and filtration properties. A series of drilling fluid formulations have been reported for graphene-derived nanocomposites as additives. Over the years, the emergence of these graphene-derived nanocomposites has been employed as a paradigm to formulate water-based drilling fluids (WBDF). Herein, we provide an overview of nanocomposites evolution as engineered materials for enhanced rheological attributes in drilling operations. We also demonstrate the state-of-the-art potential graphene-derived nanocomposites for enriched rheology and other significant properties in WBDF. This review could conceivably deliver the inspiration and pathways to produce novel fabrication of nanocomposites and the production of other graphenaceous materials grafted nanocomposites for the variety of drilling fluids.
