  • Ecofriendly lubricating additives for water-based wellbore drilling fluids
    Patent number: 9834718
    Abstract: Some examples of producing water-based drilling fluids including ecofriendly lubricating additives are described. A raw material oil including fatty acids with a short chain alcohol is esterified in the presence of a catalyst to produce alkyl ester products and triglycerides. The alkyl ester products are washed and heated to remove any residual water or the short chain alcohol.
