Mitigation of Lost Circulation in Oil-Based Drilling Fluids Using Oil Absorbent Polymers

Mitigation of Lost Circulation in Oil-Based Drilling Fluids Using Oil Absorbent Polymers

In order to mitigate the loss circulation of oil-based drilling fluids (OBDFs), an oil-absorbent polymer (OAP) composed by methylmethacrylate (MMA), butyl acrylate (BA), and hexadecyl methacrylate (HMA) was synthesized by suspension polymerization and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spec...
