Martin, C. Innovative drilling muds for High Pressure and High Temperature (HPHT) condition using a novel nanoparticle for petroleum engineering systems. (Thesis). University of Salford

The negative environmental impacts of drilling muds, particularly oil-based muds, are a cause for concern to regulators and governments worldwide. As a result, rules regarding the discharge and disposal of drilling muds have tightened globally. Recen...

Designing smart drilling fluids using modified nano silica to improve drilling operations in geothermal wells (2022)
Journal Article
Martin, C., Babaie, M., Nourian, A., & Nasr, G. (2022). Designing smart drilling fluids using modified nano silica to improve drilling operations in geothermal wells. Geothermics, 107(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geothermics.2022.102600

High pressure and high temperature (HPHT) conditions in geothermal wells have necessitated the need to develop thermally stable geothermal drilling mud systems to combat potential drilling complications. This is because mud fluids degrade under HPHT... Read More about Designing smart drilling fluids using modified nano silica to improve drilling operations in geothermal wells.

Rheological properties of the water-based muds composed of silica nanoparticle under high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) (2022)
Journal Article
Martin, C., Babaie, M., Nourian, A., & Nasr, G. (2022). Rheological properties of the water-based muds composed of silica nanoparticle under high pressure and high temperature (HPHT). SPE Journal, 27(5), 2563-2576. https://doi.org/10.2118/209786-PA

Research currently has shown two contradicting conclusions about silica nanoparticle (SNP) application in mud fluid. While different studies have concluded that adding SNPs reduces the rheological properties, others have found that this is not the ca...
