The development of sustainable, cost-efficient, and high-performance nanofluids is one of the current research topics within drilling applications. The inclusion of tailorable nanoparticles offers the possibility of formulating water-based fluids with enhanced properties, providing unprecedented opportunities in the energy, oil, gas, water, or infrastructure industries. In this work, the most recent and relevant findings related with the development of customizable nanofluids are discussed, focusing on those based on the incorporation of 2D (two-dimensional) nanoparticles and environmentally friendly precursors. The advantages and drawbacks of using 2D layered nanomaterials including but not limited to silicon nano-glass flakes, graphene, MoS, disk-shaped Laponite nanoparticles, layered magnesium aluminum silicate nanoparticles, and nanolayered organo-montmorillonite are presented. The current formulation approaches are listed, as well as their physicochemical characterization: rheology, viscoelastic properties, and filtration properties (fluid losses). The most influential factors affecting the drilling fluid performance, such as the pH, temperature, ionic strength interaction, and pressure, are also debated. Finally, an overview about the simulation at the microscale of fluids flux in porous media is presented, aiming to illustrate the approaches that could be taken to supplement the experimental efforts to research the performance of drilling muds. The information discussed shows that the addition of 2D nanolayered structures to drilling fluids promotes a substantial improvement in the rheological, viscoelastic, and filtration properties, additionally contributing to cuttings removal, and wellbore stability and strengthening. This also offers a unique opportunity to modulate and improve the thermal and lubrication properties of the fluids, which is highly appealing during drilling operations.
开发可持续、经济高效且高性能的纳米流体是当前钻井应用领域的研究课题之一。加入可定制的纳米颗粒为配制性能增强的水基流体提供了可能性，这在能源、石油、天然气、水或基础设施行业带来了前所未有的机遇。在这项工作中，我们讨论了与可定制纳米流体开发相关的最新且相关的研究成果，重点关注基于二维（2D）纳米颗粒和环境友好型前驱体的纳米流体。介绍了使用二维层状纳米材料（包括但不限于硅纳米玻璃片、石墨烯、二硫化钼、盘状锂皂石纳米颗粒、层状镁铝硅酸盐纳米颗粒和纳米层状有机蒙脱石）的优缺点。列出了当前的配方方法及其物理化学特性：流变学、粘弹性特性和过滤特性（滤失量）。还讨论了影响钻井液性能的最具影响力的因素，如pH值、温度、离子强度相互作用和压力。最后，给出了多孔介质中流体通量微观尺度模拟的概述，旨在说明可用于补充研究钻井泥浆性能实验工作的方法。所讨论的信息表明，向钻井液中添加二维纳米层状结构可显著改善流变学、粘弹性和过滤特性，此外还有助于岩屑清除以及井筒稳定性和强化。这也为调节和改善流体的热性能和润滑性能提供了独特的机会，这在钻井作业中极具吸引力。
