Stabilizing biopolymers in water-based drilling fluids at high temperature using antioxidants, a formate salt, and polyglycol (2018)
Journal Article

Biopolymers degrade in water-based drilling fluids when exposed to high temperatures for some time, thus leading to hole-cleaning problems such as stuck pipe. To stabilise biopolymers in drilling fluids, the mechanisms by which they degrade at elevat...
