SYNTHESIS OF LOCAL OIL-BASED MUD FOR NIGER DELTA WELLS USING ELAEIS GUINEENSIS
Abstract: Abstract Edible oil is produced from palm kernel (Elaeis Guineensis), a widespread tropical fruit that has a specific gravity of approximately 0.9°C, a flash point of 242°C, a flash point of 251°C, and a pour point of 22°C. This experiment was conducted by replacing liquid paraffin oil, a known component of conventional oil-based mud, with palm kernel oil (PKO) in the synthesis of a new oil-based mud from local materials. …
