New environmentally friendly dispersants for high temperature invert-emulsion drilling fluids weighted by manganese tetraoxide /

This thesis provides a detailed evaluation of different environmentally friendly dispersants in invert-emulsion drilling fluids that can be used to drill wells under difficult conditions such as HPHT. The drilling fluid is weighted by manganese tetraoxide (Mn3O4) particles, which have a specific gra...
