Advances in functionalized Nanoparticles based drilling inhibitors for oil production

Oil and gas have been facing various difficulties in well drilling due to shale hydration and swelling when in physical contact with water. Oil-based muds (OBMs) and synthetic based muds (SBMs) have been shown to have superb effort to address the drilling problems of wellbore instability due to the...
