A thesis discusses nanotechnology applications in drilling fluids at Petroleum Technology Department at the University of Technology for the student Dina Mahmoud Badr.
The research aimed to study using of Nano-Bentonite and nonmaterial as adding materials of drilling fluids to improve rheological properties and filtration and the number of productive barrels. It has been used two types of Bentonite and they are Iraqi bentonite and trade bentonite where it has been diagnosed the basic components (X-ray) device by Atomic Force Microscopy device.
