Optimizing the Filtration Properties of Water-Based Drilling Mud with a Novel Lignosulfonate–Starch–Silica Nanocomposite (LS-SSNC) Additive
Effective fluid loss (FL) control is essential for maintaining wellbore stability and drilling efficiency in water-based drilling muds (WBDM), particularly under high-temperature, high pressure (HTHP) conditions where conventional additives exhibit limited performance. This study evaluates a novel bio-based lignosulf...
