Utilization of egg yolk as a non-toxic emulsifier in environmentally friendly invert emulsion drilling mud (2016)
Journal Article

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...

50/50 oil-water ratio invert emulsion drilling mud using vegetable oil as continuous phase (2016)
Journal Article

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.
