  • Date pit based drilling fluid composition
    Patent number: 10899954
    Abstract: A drilling fluid composition including a viscosifier, treated date pit particles which are i) de-oiled and ii) treated with a base or both a base and an acid, and an aqueous base fluid, wherein the treated date pit particles are present in an amount of 0.01-5 wt %, relative to a total weight of the drilling fluid composition. A method of making the drilling fluid composition by de-oiling date pit particles, treating with a base or a base and an acid in a freeze/thaw process, and adding the freeze/thaw mixture to the viscosifier and the aqueous base fluid. A process for drilling a subterranean geological formation with the drilling fluid composition.
    Type: Grant
