Nanoparticles in drilling fluid: A review of the state-of-the-art

Nanoparticles (NPs) as a nanotechnologies unit have huge potential for improving drilling fluids. However, the role of NPs in this field is still its infancy and consequently has attracted much more attention last years. This review going to investigate fluids modified by nanoparticles. Moreover, effects various nanoparticles include polymeric, ceramic, metal carbon-based on fluid technical economic benefits them will be inspected. Although reviews nano-based been reported, few papers provided comprehensive development application issue. summarizes recent research advances synthesis applications system. The roles rheology loss control, mud cake thickness, filtration properties, thermal properties are discussed. Accordingly, literature demonstrated that use nano materials two main goals: improvement physical-mechanical studies issue facilitate design advanced functional nano-composites
