A method comprising drilling a wellbore into a subterranean formation; providing a drilling fluid comprising an aqueous base fluid and a property control package, the property control package comprising: a stabilizing agent; a filtration control agent; and a suspension enhancer; introducing the drilling fluid into the wellbore in the subterranean formation; and continuously circulating the drilling fluid during the drilling of the wellbore.

Drilling fluid compositions and methods for use thereof in subterranean formations

A subterranean grouting method including (a) placing a sample of a grout mixture within a test container, (b) separating a sand component from the sample, (c) determining if the grout mixture exhibits a thermal conductivity within a predetermined thermal conductivity range based upon a proportion of the sand component within the sample, and (d) upon determining that the grout mixture exhibits a thermal conductivity with the predetermined thermal conductivity range, securing a conduit within a subterranean bore with the grout mixture, wherein (a), (b), (c), and (d) are carried out proximate each other at a job site.
