Analyzing effects of acidic surface modified multi-wall carbon nanotubes, large size Multi-Wall Carbon
Nanotubes, Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) and surfactants on performance of Water Based Mud (WBM)

Due to the significance and unique properties of Multi-Wall
Carbon Nanotubes(MWCNT), in the present investigation,
the viability of these materials in the water-based mud (WBM)
is assessed. The impacts of various kinds of MWCNT, mud
additives and surfactants on the rheological properties, water
loss and drilling fluid stability of the WBM are experimentally
investigated. The results have demonstrated various kinds
of MWCNT, additives, and surfactants have affected the
rheological properties of the WBM. Acidic surface modified
carbon nanotube improves rheological properties of the WBM
such as increases the quantity of plastic viscosity, yield point and
water loss of the sample and increases the shale recovery. In the
presence of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), Acidic surface modified
carbonnanotube increases theplasticviscosityandyieldpointof
