Abstract
The oil-based drilling fluid showed better hole-cleaning abilities during the flow-loop experiments, leaving a lower sand bed in the test section. This fluid displayed viscoelastic properties, such as a yield stress and a linear viscoelastic range. The water-based drilling fluid showed no yield stress and a 50-100% higher elasticity than the oil-based drilling fluid.
