Abstract

In this study, a green, simple and economical approach was used to synthesise the SiO2@ZnO@Xanthan
nanocomposite (NC) to modify the rheological and filtration characteristics of the water-based drilling mud. The green
synthesised NCs were identified using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, elemental
mapping, X-ray diffraction and UV–Vis analytical techniques. Additiona ly, the effect of SiO2@ZnO@Xanthan NCs on thefiltration and rheological properties of mud including apparent viscosity, plastic viscosity, yield point, gel strength, mud cake andfluid loss was investigated. The obtained results confirmed that the synthesised NCs effectively improved the rheologicalproperties of drilling mud, and considerably decreased its fluid loss and filter cake by about 54 and 92.5%, respectively. Theresults highly recommend the SiO2@ZnO@Xanthan NC as an excellent additive to improve the rheological properties, andreduce the fluid loss and the filter cake of the drilling mud
