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 nanosilica as a fluid loss reducer and a rheological property improver in both OBM and water-based mud (WBM) systems at high temperature conditions was evaluated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a sensitivity analysis has been done to observe the parameters that affected the vertical lift performance of a high water cut well, including tubing diameter, gas-oil ratio, wellhead pressure, water cut, and tubing roughness.

TL;DR: In this paper, three-phase oil-water-gas flow experiments have been conducted in a horizontally configured rig made of carbon steel pipe with an ID of 0.041m and a total length of 24.3m.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of different ASP techniques in terms of injection sequence and mixture on ultimate oil recovery were analyzed, and three types of chemical flooding injection design were evaluated namely, continuous or conventional ASP flooding, alternating ASP with waterflooding, and lastly tapering water to ASP ratio.
