Drilling fluid is considered to be the backbone of any drilling activity. Therefore, proper formulation of this element is the key factor for any successful drilling operations. Failure to do so will result in catastrophic events such as kick, loss circulation, blowout, or even abandonment of the well. During this study, a water-based drilling fluid (WBDF) was formulated and was tested for filtration properties. Next a 2^ n factorial sensitivity analysis was executed on the mud systems after the addition of one nanoparticle and two polymers. These additives were nanoparticles graphene oxide and polymers pure-bore and sodium alginate that were used in varying concentration in the mud system. A total of 8 experimental runs after the addition of the particles were conducted in the laboratory, and the influence of the particle concentration on the filtrate loss volume was statistically examined. It was observed that both the polymers played a significant role in controlling the loss of filtrate volume. An increase in concentrations of the polymers reduces the loss of filtrate volume from the mud system. These polymers block the pores in the filter paper, which eventually decreases the filtrate volume. On the other hand, GO concentration was not significant in this study. At higher concentration, GO forms agglomeration; this had no significant influence on the filtrate reduction. However, when GO is used in conjunction with polymers, its performance increases. An infiltrate interphase is established that reduces the filtrate volume. Additionally, the interaction between the polymers was also not substantial. Both polymers tangled around one another and decrease their impact on filtration loss. All these analysis helped in designing the mud system on larger scale. The application of full factorial design in formulation of the mud system drastically reduces the overall project cost, time, and number of runs of experiment.
