Ihenacho, P., Burby, M., Nasr, G., & Enyi, G. (2016). Utilization of egg yolk as a non-toxic emulsifier in environmentally friendly invert emulsion drilling mud. Journal of petroleum engineering & technology (Online), 6(1),

Vegetable oil such as Jatropha has been shown to be a comparable alternative to diesel and mineral oils for environmentally friendly oil based drilling mud. However compatibility of the vegetable oils with the usual chemical additives is still a majo...

Journal Article
Ihenacho, P., Burby, M., Nasr, G., & Enyi, G. (2016). 50/50 oil-water ratio invert emulsion drilling mud using vegetable oil as continuous phase

Formulation of a low oil-water ratio drilling mud with vegetable oil continuous phase without adversely affecting the mud rheology and stability has been a major challenge. A low oil-water ratio is beneficial in producing low fluid loss which is esse... Read More about 50/50 oil-water ratio invert emulsion drilling mud using vegetable oil as continuous phase.
