- Additional information
- Outcome of the project 'Effect of nanoparticles on properties of water-based mud'. Collaboration with Baroid-Halliburton (contact: Ashleigh Cooper, Mud Engineer). Investigates how nanoparticles can replace synthetic chemicals to make rheology-stable drilling fluids. The findings have been used by researchers in drilling engineering (e.g., Mahmoud from Texas A&M who used ferric-oxide nanoparticles and Ma from China University of Geoscience-Beijing who used nano-silica as anti-calcium fluid-loss agent). Led to collaboration with Egyptian Petroleum Institute and a £159k follow-up grant (RG14885) to investigate pilot-scale application of rheology-stable drilling fluids.
