Health, safety and environmental study of glass bubble application drilling and completion fluids / Wang Ning

Lightweight drilling and completion fluids are widely used for near-balanced, balanced or under-balanced drilling to reduce loss of fluids which can cause serious problems. They are also used to protect the reservoirs during the drilling process. As a newly introduced technology, glass bubbles, also...
