Abstract: Drilling muds have relied on a range of base fluids, with mineral oil-based formulations dominating the landscape for decades. However, mineral oil-based muds contain a plethora of toxic aromatic compounds which are persistent in the environment. Hence, the objective of the paper was to synthesize and compare the performance properties of drilling muds formulated with C14 and C16 esters of lauric acid using appropriate standard procedures. Benchmarking of the esters with a reference synthetic base fluid indica… Show more
