Performance Analysis of Corn- and Rice-Husk Based Additives as Eco-Friendly Fluid Loss Control Agents in Water-Based Drilling Muds

Abubakar Sadiq Bello PhD, Bashir Muhammad Rabiu, Adamu Yusuf Gatugel, Mohammed Rabiu Batu

Abstract

This study investigates the potential of cornhusk (CH) and ricehusk (RH) based additives as environmentally friendly alternatives for fluid loss control in water-based drilling muds. The additives were prepared, characterized, and evaluated for their effects on drilling fluid loss. Results indicate that while both additives demonstrate promising fluid loss control capabilities, their performance metrics differ from traditional commercial polymers such as Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC). The study provides insights into sustainable alternatives for drilling fluid additives using agricultural waste products.
