• Abstract:

  Drilling fluids with biolubricating additives based on vegetable oil esters are an effective and ecological alternative for oil and gas well drilling operations. However, this approach is still little examined in the oil sector. Technological prospecting is an important tool that provides innovative insights to expand knowledge and promote technological transformations, which facilitates decision-making in research centers and industries. Thus, the present study aims to fill this gap and presents a prospective analysis of scientific articles about the use of vegetable oils as a starting material for the production of biolubricating additives applied in drilling fluids. The research was carried out in the Web of Science databases. Data was retrieved from patent documents from the last 30 years using a combination of the keyword "drilling fluid" and "vegetable oil".
