Abstract
Physical and chemical properties of emulsion drilling muds based on technical rapeseed oil with oil/water ratio 65/35 were investigated. The resulting solutions were compared with solutions based on synthetic oils produced according to the same formulation. The influence of various emulsifiers on the properties of emulsion drilling muds was analyzed. The article studies filtration, antifriction and inhibiting properties of the resulting solutions, as well as their colloid stability and effective viscosity.
