A lubricant composition containing a vegetable oil, a degreasing agent, and a non-ionic surfactant. The vegetable oil may be soybean oil, the degreasing agent may be ethyl lactate, and the non-ionic surfactant may comprise sorbitan esters, polyethoxylated sorbitan esters, or a combination thereof. Also provided is a wellbore servicing fluid containing a base fluid and the lubricant composition containing vegetable oil, degreasing agent, and non-ionic surfactant. Methods of introducing the lubricant composition and wellbore servicing fluids containing the lubricant composition into a subterranean zone (e.g., into a wellbore disposed in a subterranean formation) are also provided.

Non-greasing lubricant for high salinity fluids

A variety of methods and compositions are disclosed, including, in one example, a method that includes introducing a drill-in fluid into a production zone of a subterranean formation, where the drill-in fluid includes water, a hydrophobically modified starch, a dual oil and water soluble surfactant, and a bridging agent, extending a borehole through the production zone, and forming a filter cake in the production zone where the filter cake includes a plurality of oleophilic channels is formed within the filter cake.

Active filter cake component for reservoir drill-in fluids to eliminate acid treatment

A method of drilling is disclosed that includes introducing a water-based drilling fluid into a drill string disposed within a wellbore, circulating the water-based drilling fluid through the drill string and the wellbore, and extending the wellbore using the drill string while circulating the water-based drilling fluid, wherein the water-based drilling fluid includes water and a lubricating additive including a de-oiled cake, wherein the de-oiled cake are residues obtained after extraction of oil from a plant source, wherein the de-oiled cake is in particulate form having a particle size of 100 microns or less. A composition is disclosed that includes water-based drilling fluid including water and a lubricant additive comprising a de-oiled cake, wherein the de-oiled cake are residues obtained after extraction of oil from a plant source and wherein the de-oiled cake has a particle size of 100 microns or less.

Sustainable solid lubricant for drilling fluid

A method of drilling a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation, the method includes: during drilling operations, circulating in the wellbore a first aqueous drilling fluid composition including a modified starch and a calcium carbonate wherein the calcium carbonate has a first predetermined particle size; during the circulating, measuring one or more parameters to create a set of measured parameters; and during the circulating, responsive to one or more parameters of the set of measured parameters, changing the calcium carbonate with another calcium carbonate of a different particle size to obtain a second aqueous drilling fluid composition, wherein the first and second predetermined particle sizes are, independently, a dparticle size of about 1.0 &#x3bc;m to about 150 &#x3bc;m.
