Study on Preparation and Evaluation of Micro Zirconia Particles Used in Drilling Fluid

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article explains how to prepare zirconia (ZrO2) mico particles and demonstrates how to evaluate the performance of drilling fluids containing ZrO2. Sheet ZrO2 micro articles were prepared using hydrothermal synthesis method and were observed using particle image equipment. The performances of drilling fluids before and after various doses of ZrO2 added were compared. The result shows that sheet ZrO2 micro particles can adjust the rheological properties of drilling fluid.
