IntroductionLow permeability reservoirs, characterized by their limited ability to allow fluids to pass through, present significant challenges in the extraction of hydrocarbons. The complex geological formations and tight pore spaces necessitate advanced techniques to enhance oil and gas recovery.

IntroductionHydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) has emerged as a pivotal component in the realm of drilling fluids and wellbore stability. Its unique rheological properties and adaptability make it an excellent temporary plugging agent in various drilling operations. The functionality of HEC is not just li

IntroductionHydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is a non-ionic, water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose. Its unique rheological properties have made it a subject of interest in various industrial applications, particularly in the oil and gas sector. The question arises: can hydroxyethyl cellulose be e

IntroductionIn the field of oil and gas drilling, maintaining the integrity of boreholes is a critical challenge. The instability of shale formations often leads to sloughing, where fragments break off and obstruct the drilling process. This not only hampers efficiency but also escalates operational

IntroductionIn the realm of oil and gas drilling, the stability of the borehole plays a critical role in the success of drilling operations. One of the significant challenges faced during drilling is the instability caused by sloughing formations, which can lead to costly downtime and safety hazards
