Optimization of Water Based Drilling Fluid Produced Using Modified Nigerian Bentonite and Natural Biopolymers: Reduced experiment and Response Surface Methodology

A. Arinkoola; T. Salawudeen; K. Salam; M. Jimoh; Z. Atitebi; G. Abidemi

Volume 16, Issue 1 , March 2019, Pages 39-53

Abstract
  Research has shown that many Bentonite in Nigeria are unsuitable for oil well drilling in their natural states. Their modification and blends with some additives could increase the yield and boost their suitability. Many indigenous polymers have become very popular due to environmental friendliness and ...  Read More
