Lubricity of Jatropha Oil Based Mud

One of the main functions of drilling mud is to lubricate the wellbore. Lubrication in wellbore during drilling operation are very important to avoid the drill strings in contact with the wellbore formation. If the drill string surface is in contact with the surface of wellbore formation, friction w...
