Abstract
Described is a drilling fluid composition with enhanced hole cleaning properties and a method of its use. Following an indication of sticking of a drill pipe during a drilling operation, a drilling fluid composition, including a first exothermic reactant, is injected into a subterranean formation. Then, a drilling fluid composition, including a second exothermic reactant, is injected into the subterranean formation. An exothermic reaction is allowed to occur between the first exothermic reactant and the second exothermic reactant within the subterranean formation.
