TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a detailed overview and comparison of the recent advancements in the field of drilling fluids and nanotechnology, and provide an analysis of the outcomes of these studies and improvements observed for the application of nanoparticles in drilling fluids.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the performance of nanosilica water-based drilling fluids for the hole cleaning process in directional drilling operations and found that the presence of nano-silica in the mud increased the colloidal interactions with cuttings and contributed to the improvements in cut-ings transportation efficiency by 30.8-44%.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of a nano-enhanced water base fluid for advanced drilling operations was investigated. And the results demonstrated that the nanoenhanced drilling fluids have an improved thermal stability at heightened temperatures and can withstand the harsh conditions in advanced drilling operation while they impose a lower environmental impact and capital costs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined foam stability through solid-fluids interactions between solid particles of hydrocarbon reservoirs and aqueous foam and found that foam in the presence of solid particles is a function of density, shape, size, and wettability of particles where monolayer, bilayer of network or particles stabilise foam lamella or rupture foam structure.

TL;DR: This study introduces the matrix block size distributions into an advective-diffusive solute transport model of a divergent radial system to evaluate the mass transfer shape factor, which is considered as a first-order exchange coefficient between the fracture and matrix.
