Enhancing the performance of Xanthan gum in water-based mud systems using an environmentally friendly biopolymer [PDF]
, 2020 Xanthan gum is commonly used in drilling fluids to provide viscosity, solid suspension, and fluid-loss control. However, it is sensitive to high temperatures and not tolerant of field contaminants. This paper presents an experimental study on the effects
