Abstract: A method of servicing a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation, the method including placing a wellbore servicing fluid into the wellbore proximate a permeable zone. The wellbore servicing fluid comprises a base fluid and from about 3 wt. % to about 25 wt. % by total weight of the wellbore servicing fluid of a particulate material. The particulate material comprises palm kernel shells.

Abstract: A lubricant composition containing a vegetable oil, and at least two nonionic surfactants. The vegetable oil may be castor oil, and the nonionic surfactants may include sorbitan esters and polyethoxylated sorbitan esters. Also provided is a wellbore fluid containing a base fluid and a lubricant containing vegetable oil and at least one nonionic surfactant. Methods of introducing the lubricant composition and wellbore fluids containing the lubricant composition into a subterranean formation zone are also provided.

Abstract: Provided are compositions, systems, and methods of using a synthetic latex composition for treating a subterranean formation. An example method comprises providing a synthetic latex composition comprising: a synthetic latex and a latex stabilizer; and exposing the synthetic latex composition to air for an exposure period of at least one day; wherein the synthetic latex composition loses less than 5% of its initial water concentration at the end of a one-day exposure period. The synthetic latex composition may be further included in a treatment fluid. The treatment fluid may be introduced into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation.

Abstract: An aqueous-based treatment fluid comprising: a base fluid, wherein the base fluid comprises water; and an additive, wherein the additive comprises a biopolymer matrix and a compound comprising a functional group containing nitrogen, A method of using the aqueous-based treatment fluid comprising: introducing the treatment fluid into a wellbore, wherein the wellbore penetrates a subterranean formation.

Abstract: Treatment fluids including a renewable diesel base fluid comprising in the range of about 10% and about 67.5% C18 hydrocarbons by weight of the base fluid; and at least one treatment fluid additive. Methods including introducing the treatment fluid into a subterranean formation and performing a subterranean formation operation thereof.

Abstract: Systems and methods of determining settlement characteristics of a drilling mud are disclosed. Conditions under which heavier elements of the drilling mud settle under the influence of gravity can be determined. Samples of drilling mud can be placed in testing cells, and ultrasonic test pulses can be transmitted through the samples. Responses to the test pulses can be detected and compared to other responses detected at different vertical positions within the testing cell. Settlement can be detected when the responses from different vertical positions are generally dissimilar. An environmental temperature of the testing cell can be changed over a testing time interval, and a settlement temperature can be determined by detecting a divergence in the responses from different vertical positions.
