      abstract = {The analysis of HPHT wells has obtained its importance from the fact that these wells are of significant importance in meeting world energy requirement despite having enormous operational and environmental complications. The advances in technologies of drilling fluid formulation for HPHT wells enable to increase safely of operations, to increase the rate of drilling, and to decrease negative impact on the environment. The present research focuses on the development of new generations of drilling fluids in high-pressure and high-temperature well environments. The present and future fluid compositions are also discussed and specific behaviors or properties that define successful fluid proposals are delineated with recommended new fluid formulations simultaneously safe for the environment but effective for operations on the other. The study assesses different fluid formulations? rheological characteristics, thermal and environmental performance, and stability through the depth and time scales using lab analysis and data control under the HPHT conditions. Given findings of this research mainly focus on a code of practice for choice and use of fluids in HPHT wells to avoid time wastage, risk, and ensure sustainability of wells.},
