Implication

This analysis reveals plastic waste can significantly lower fluid loss in drilling fluids, indicating a sustainable alternative to conventional materials.

Key Points

Plastic waste particles effectively sealed high-permeability formations, reducing fluid loss during drilling operations.
Tests showed that high-density polyethylene outperformed calcium carbonate in sealing efficiency and mud stability.
The approach utilized repurposed plastic without modification, making it both simple and sustainable for drilling applications.
Sealing efficiency varied with particle size, suggesting tailored use for different loss zone conditions.
