Popis: Bentonite-based drilling fluids are used for drilling, where inhibitive fluids are not required. The rheological and the density properties of the drilling fluids are highly affected by high temperature and pressure. Due to high temperature, the clay particles stick together, and the fluid system becomes more flocculated. Poorly designed drilling fluid may cause undesired operational issues such as poor hole cleaning, drill strings sticking, high torque and drag. In this study, the 80 °C thermally stable Herschel Bulkley’s and Bingham plastic yield stresses drilling fluids were formulated based on lignosulfonate-treated bentonite drilling fluid. Further, the impact of a MoS2 nanoparticle solution on the properties of the thermally stable base fluid was characterized. Results at room temperature and pressure showed that the blending of 0.26 wt.% MoS2 increased the lubricity of thermally stable base fluid by 27% and enhanced the thermal and electrical conductivities by 7.2% and 8.8%, respectively.
