Enhancing the performance of Xanthan gum in water-based mud systems using an environmentally friendly biopolymer (2020)
Journal Article
Akpan, E., Enyi, G., & Nasr, G. (2020). Enhancing the performance of Xanthan gum in water-based mud systems using an environmentally friendly biopolymer. Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technologies, 10, 1933-1948. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13202-020-00837-0

Xanthan gum is commonly used in drilling fluids to provide viscosity, solid suspension, and fluid-loss control. However, it is sensitive to high temperatures and not tolerant of field contaminants. This paper presents an experimental study on the eff... Read More about Enhancing the performance of Xanthan gum in water-based mud systems using an environmentally friendly biopolymer.

Descaling petroleum production tubing using multiple high-pressure nozzles (2020)
Thesis
Hassan, K. Descaling petroleum production tubing using multiple high-pressure nozzles. (Thesis). University of Salford

The mechanical approach of utilizing high-pressure water for scale removal has gained wider acceptance by multinational despite facing poor downhole performance challenges (cavitation) that need abrasion compensation (sand). Although sand particles h... Read More about Descaling petroleum production tubing using multiple high-pressure nozzles.
