The mining industry is often faced with great difficulty in drilling deeper and deeper holes in the search for oil and gas. This results in constantly increasing costs and the continuing need to create better materials and technologies to reduce possible losses. Drilling technology must cope with high temperatures and pressures in the hole and other unfriendly environmental conditions. Increasing demands on the properties of the slurry and cement stone force the search for unconventional solutions and materials th...

The dynamic development of material and chemical engineering as well as physical analytical methods allows the use of new materials for the production of drilling muds. This is especially important because drilling works are conducted in increasingly difficult geological and technological conditions. The present analyses concentrate on the development and elaboration of recipes of drilling fluids with organophilic nanomaterials. One of the most frequently applied nanomaterials referred to in patents registered by ...
