Title: Enhanced Wellbore Stabilization and Reservoir Productivity with Aphron Drilling Fluid Technology

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/896524· OSTI ID:896524

A method is developed to monitor the rate of loss of air from aphrons at elevated pressures. This technique is used to study the effects of pressure, fluid composition and rates of pressurization and depressurization on the kinetics of air loss from aphrons in APHRON ICS{trademark} drilling fluids.
