Abstract: Novel
oleate esters of lauricamide were prepared by the reaction of oleic acid and
lauricamide (derived from the reaction of lauric acid and diethanol amine) .The
chemical structure for the new prepared lauricamide-mono and di-oleate esters
were elucidated using elementary analysis, (FTIR), H1NMR and
chemical ionization mass spectra(CI/Ms) spectroscopic techniques. The new
prepared esters have high biodegradability and a lower toxicity
(environmentally friendly) so they were evaluated as a synthetic –based mud
(ester–based mud) for oil–well drilling fluids .The evaluation includes study
of the rheological properties, filtration and thermal properties of the ester
based–muds formulated with the new prepared esters compared to the reference
commercial synthetic–based mud.
