Preparation of a nontraditional ultralight fluid for increasing oil production using natural, ground, and acid-activated clay

The effect of previously treated and natural clay on the rheological properties of an ultralight drill-in fluid was investigated. The clay was used as a disperser to create a stable, low-density drilling mud. The clay was treated by grinding and acid activation. The effect of incorporating different...
