Combine effect of graphene oxide, pure-bore and sodium alginate on rheological and filtration properties and cutting carrying capacity of water-based drilling fluid

Sodium alginate as an eco-friendly rheology modifier and salt-tolerant fluid loss additive in water-based drilling fluids

“…While there is a vast amount of bibliographic literature regarding the application of SA, salt-tolerant rheological and filtration loss properties in water-based drilling fluid have not been reported; although it has been combined with graphene oxide to reduce the filtration loss, the detailed mechanism has not been systematically analysed. 46 The introduction of SA proposed in this article enriches the variety of salt resistant biodegradable polymers used in the drilling industry.…”
