FATTY ACID METHYL ESTER FROM JATROPHA CURCAS OIL AS A NEW (ECOFRIENDLY) BASED DRILLING FLUID

The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential use of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) derived from Jatropha curcas oil as a new eco-friendly base drilling fluid. As concerns over environmental problem caused by mud spills and disposal of using diesel oil based mud, low aromatic syntheti...
