Efficient and optimistic drilling operation depends on a number of parameters and drilling fluid (DF) additives is one of them. Traditional DF mud contains toxic chemical compound that causes environmental issue, cost optimization and reservoir formation damages. Present demands of DF and future challenges have urged researchers to develop eco-friendly drilling fluid additives with minimum impact on the environment. Aloe Vera does not contain any serious toxic compound compared to others DF additives; thus it is used in various cosmetic products. The present investigation leads toward the development of a drilling mud additive using Aloe Vera. The SEM-EDX method is conducted to the elemental analysis of Aloe Vera to investigate composite in it. In this research, the four representative recipes of the DF are formed with this additive along the base material bentonite. Complete rheological tests and filtration tests of the different concentrations of mud additives are performed to investigate the feasibility of this new additive. Rheological properties and other related investigations are carried out with different sizes of the sample particle and mud preparation formula. A comparative study is performed along with other additives with respect to rheological, environmental and economic benefit. This present investigation suggests Aloe Vera can be used as a potential DF additive that is environmental friendly instead of toxic chemicals. The investigation confirms the benefit of this new additive, which is environmental friendly. All the drilling purposes including hydrocarbon industries and mining companies can benefited from this newly developed DF additive.

高效和乐观的钻井作业取决于许多参数，钻井液 (DF) 添加剂就是其中之一。传统的DF泥浆含有有毒化合物，会导致环境问题、成本优化和储层损害。DF 的当前需求和未来挑战促使研究人员开发对环境影响最小的环保钻井液添加剂。与其他 DF 添加剂相比，芦荟不含任何严重的有毒化合物；因此它被用于各种化妆品中。目前的研究导致开发使用芦荟的钻井泥浆添加剂。采用SEM-EDX方法对芦荟进行元素分析，研究其中的复合物。在这项研究中，DF 的四个代表性配方是用这种添加剂沿基材膨润土形成的。对不同浓度的泥浆添加剂进行了完整的流变测试和过滤测试，以研究这种新添加剂的可行性。采用不同尺寸的样品颗粒和泥浆制备配方进行流变性能和其他相关研究。与其他添加剂在流变学、环境和经济效益方面进行了比较研究。目前的调查表明，芦荟可用作潜在的 DF 添加剂，它对环境友好，而不是有毒化学品。调查证实了这种新添加剂的好处，它是环保的。
