“…The unique characteristics of nanoparticles are such as small size (1-100 nm), high specific surface area, and superior adsorption, along with optical, thermal, electrical, and mechanical capabilities. Controlling mud rheology, limiting mud invasion into the formation, and producing a thin, impermeable, compact filter cake under reservoir conditions have all been assessed as benefits of using nanoparticles in drilling fluid [14,26,[40][41][42]. Additionally, drilling mud rheology has been demonstrated to be improved by nanoparticles, and gel strength has been demonstrated to be reasonably limited [40,43,44].…”

Drilling fluids are increasingly being infused with nanoparticles to improve their functionality. The potential of several nanoparticle types including metal oxides, carbon nanotubes, and graphene nanoplates to enhance the rheological, filtration, and thermal characteristics of drilling fluids is being researched. The literature uses nanoparticles at a concentration of roughly 3–5%. The mechanical, thermal, and physicochemical characteristics of drilling fluids can all be improved, heat transmission can be improved, and frictional resistance can be decreased with the help of nanoparticles. For drill-fluid rheology, silica and alumina nanoparticles are especially helpful. In general, research on the application of nanoparticles in drilling fluids is a potential field for the oil and gas sector.

“…At present, oil and natural gas are still one of the most important energy sources in the world [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. With the continuous development of petroleum resources, shallow resources are gradually depleted, and deep ultra-deep oil and gas has become a key development object [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. However, deep formations generally face complex challenges such as high-temperature and high-salinity, which requires higher drilling technology [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ].…”

With the gradual depletion of shallow oil and gas, deep oil and gas has become the focus of development. However, deep formations generally face the challenge of high-temperature and high-salinity, and drilling fluid agents are prone to failure, leading to drilling fluid intrusion into the formation that can cause serious drilling accidents such as well bore collapse. For this, a styrene-based nano-microsphere (SSD) modified with amphoteric ions was developed, with a particle size of 228 nm which could resist temperatures up to 200 °C and sodium chloride (NaCl) up to saturation. SSD has significant salt-responsive properties and its aqueous dispersion becomes transparent with increasing salinity. The SSD provided superior plugging performance in solutions containing NaCl, with a core plugging efficiency of 95.2%, and it was significantly better than the anion-modified microspheres. In addition, in drilling fluids under high temperature and high-salinity conditions, the SSD promotes particle gradation of drilling fluids and improves the zeta potential through its own plugging and synergistic effect with clay, which significantly improves the comprehensive performance of drilling fluids, such as stability, rheological performance, and filtration reduction performance. The development of SSD provides a new idea for research of high-temperature and high-salinity-resistant drilling fluid agents.

“…Depending on the well depth, formation type and feasibility, the need of these additives change 4 . Scientists and researchers proposed many additives over the years, for instance, using durian rind as a lost circulation material 5 , utilizing different classes of ion liquid to improve the mud rheology 6 , 7 , implementing polypropylene and polyethylene beads to improve the cutting transport efficiency 8 – 12 , employing Nano-material to enhance the drilling fluid properties 13 – 15 , etc. One of the vital additives is the weighting material which provide the needed density in the mud formulation 16 .…”

A required feature of any drilling formulation is to mitigate the formation damage by having an excellent filtration and filter cake properties. The key factor for preventing and limiting formation damage is to improve the sealing qualities of the planned drilling fluid. In this study, a new novel filtration agent called “perlite” was introduced for improving the manganese tetroxide mud cake ability for better sealing features. The perlite particles were loaded to formulation containing the manganese tetroxide as weighting agent. The water-based drilling mud was designed at high densities (14.25 and 17.2 ppg). Perlite was added in varied concentrations to reach the optimum performance. The filtration test conducted at reservoir temperature of 250 °F and a differential pressure of 300 psi to form the filter cake. The tests were performed using sandstone cores with two different permeability categories (low and high permeabilities) as the filtration media. This gave the full picture of perlite performance as implemented for different formation properties and considering the drilling fluid properties. The formed filter cake structure and chemical composition was evaluated using scanning electron energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM–EDS). The presented results illustrated how the perlite was compatible to be added to the manganese tetroxide weighting agents in the same formulation. In addition, it has the capacity to improve the filter cake's sealing qualities, lowering the filtration volume by 41% and the filter cake internal and external layers permeability by 58% and 25%, respectively. Moreover, the EDS analysis showed that the perlite particles are concentrated generally in the internal layer of the filter cake.
