主　　题：Drilling mud Invert emulsion Biodiesel Neem seed oil 

摘      要：The present work intended to develop an invert emulsion drilling mud from biodegradable neem seed oil as an alternative to conventional diesel-based drilling *** would present comparable properties and performances with API standard requirements,ecologically friendly and at a low *** produced from non-edible neem oil was used as the continuous phase in an invert emulsion-based drilling *** tests to investigate the applicability of the mud for drilling applications were *** rheological and lubricity tests results indicate that the neem oil biodiesel-based drilling muds are comparable with conventional diesel-based drilling *** produced biodiesel shows a significantly better flash point of 168℃ than the traditional diesel flash point of 70℃;indicating better fire safety than the conventional *** lubricity and rheological data indicate the formulated mud with neem seed oil biodiesel fair reasonably well with conventional diesel and within the API re*** general,the preliminary results show that neem oil biodiesel is a potential alternative to conventional organic oil in formulating oil-based drilling mud in terms of technical and environmental analysis.
