This research article investigates the rheological and filtration properties of oil-in-water emulsion required for oil gas well drilling. The emulsions were enhanced by varying concentrations xanthan gum CaCO3. concentration diesel was varied in range 5–30% (v/v). 0.25–1% (w/v) CaCO3 1–4% (w/v). It has been observed that these combinations have favourable up to 70°C temperature which implies developed system may be used as drilling fluid its application sub hydrostatic formations.
