Although the current oil price is low due to various reasons, fossil fuels cannot be replaced by any other type of fuels for long-term energy demands. Canadian oil production will increase due to proven crude oil reserve such as the Albertan oil sand, conventional and unconventional (shale) oil. Oil production from Canadian oil sands deposits is achieved by mining operations (20%) and drilling operations (80%). Conventional and unconventional oils are extracted by drilling operations. However, the cost of the extracting operations makes this industry vulnerable to oil and gas price fluctuations. Such a situation must be changed through reducing the high cost of production in order to increase the resistance of Canadian economy to oil-shock. It is essential for the oil and gas industries to develop more ef?cient, economical and environmentally friendly technologies for improved oil and gas recovery. For example, the development of horizontal well completion techniques has tapped a massive amount of hydrocarbon resources that was previously economically unreachable. However, the drilling equipment suffers from severe wear especially under harsh conditions, including tough geological formation, high temperature, corrosion, and high pressure. Many high spec rigs drilling today are running with a much smaller safety factor and they are being pushed to their limit, leading to excess wear, low efficiency, high costs, and safety issues. The competence of the drilling process greatly depends on the performance of drilling ?uids. One of the significant functions of the drilling fluids is to lubricate the bit and the stem. This project is oriented to the development of high-performance lubricants, database, and guidelines for lubricant production, application and development. The approach takes advantage of nano-additive combinations to meet specific operation conditions. The project targets not only lubricant development but also fundamental aspects of lubricant-materials interactions. Expected outcomes will benefit not only the lubricant business of our industrial partner (Camber Resource Services Ltd) but also HQP training in this important technical field.

虽然由于各种原因，目前的油价很低，但从长期的能源需求来看，化石燃料是任何其他类型的燃料都无法取代的。由于已探明的原油储量，如阿尔伯塔油砂、常规和非常规（页岩）油，加拿大的石油产量将会增加。加拿大油砂矿床的石油生产是通过采矿作业（20%）和钻井作业（80%）实现的。常规和非常规石油都是通过钻井作业开采的。然而，开采作业的成本使该行业容易受到石油和天然气价格波动的影响。必须通过降低高生产成本来改变这种状况，以增加加拿大经济对石油冲击的抵抗力。石油和天然气行业有必要进一步发展。采用高效、经济、环保的技术提高油气采收率。例如，水平井完井技术的发展已经开发了大量的碳氢化合物资源，而这些资源以前在经济上是无法获得的。然而，钻井设备遭受严重磨损，特别是在恶劣的地质条件下，包括恶劣的地质地层、高温、腐蚀和高压。如今，许多高规格钻井平台的安全系数要小得多，而且它们被推向了极限，导致了过度磨损、低效率、高成本和安全问题。钻井工艺的优劣在很大程度上取决于钻井液的性能。钻井液的一个重要功能是润滑钻头和钻杆。本项目以高性能润滑油的开发为导向，为润滑油的生产、应用和开发提供数据库和指南。该方法利用纳米添加剂组合来满足特定的操作条件。该项目的目标不仅是润滑剂的开发，而且是润滑剂-材料相互作用的基本方面。预期的结果将不仅有利于我们的工业合作伙伴（Camber资源服务有限公司）的润滑油业务，而且有利于HQP在这一重要技术领域的培训。
