In this study, a rheological modifier for water-based drilling mud is prepared by exploiting the Kraft pulping residual of oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) fibers. From an experimental point of view, readily combination between water-based drilling mud and Lignin Graft Copolymer (LGC) provided an...
