Salt-Resistant Lubricant for Deep Water Drilling Fluids
In deepwater drilling, drilling fluids are affected by seawater, highly mineralized brine, and polyvalent metal ions. Conventional lubricants such as mineral oils, vegetable oils, and fatty acids often exhibit poor dispersion and incompatibility in high ...

Prediction and risk assessment of natural gas hydrate formation in deepwater wellbores
Hydrate formed in the wellbore during deepwater shallow drilling will affect the operation safety, so it is necessary to predict and analyze the hydrate formation range and degree in the wellbore annulus.

Improved Constraints on Andean Glaciations From the Lake Titicaca Continental Drilling Record
Abstract Long sedimentary records from tropical lakes provide crucial archives for reconstructing the timing and extent of tropical alpine glaciations, yet robust chronologies beyond the radiocarbon limit (ca. 50 ka) remain scarce. Here, we refine the ca. 350 kyr chronology for Lake Titicaca (Peru‐Bolivia) using radiocarbon dating, optically stimulated

Study of the local forces along a drill edge – comparison of two methodologies [PDF]
In aerospace applications, drilling is one of the most common operations. However, this machining stays complex and expensive, especially in hard to cut materials. Because of the closed aspect of the operation, the measure or evaluation of the phenomenon
