There are many problems occurring while drilling which influence the efficiency of the drilling mud functions like drag and torque and low lubricity problems. Oil based mud (OBM) can be used to reduce the effects of the mentioned problem. However, taking in consideration the environmental and economic issues, its usage is being restricted. Hence, the application of various types of additives in various drilling fluids formulation is needed to provide different practical mud requirements such as density, viscosity, yield point, gel strength, filtration, and lubricity. Therefore, plants additives have been used successfully in oil and gas industry. In this study, henna leaves with two different sizes and boric acid have been used with a concentration range of 0 – 6 g, and then compared with commercial lubricants which are Radiagreen EME Salt and Radiagreen EBL. The characterization of henna leaves was obtained throughout using EDX and VPSEM tests The rheological properties, API and HPHT filtration and mud cake thickness were tested before and after the aging process (250 ? and 16 hours). Furthermore, the effect of the additives mentioned on lubricity in WBM was investigated. Both henna leaves and boric acid showed a prospective reduction in the fluid loss and the best result of 4.4 ml was achieved by adding 6 g of 100 µm henna leaves in the WBM. In addition, It was observed that by increasing the concentration of the additives the CoF decreased. It was found that the addition of 100 µm henna leaves reduced the CoF up to 11.4%. However, boric acid showed 7% reduction only. By comparing between the CoF values when taking the reading of the CoF after 5 minutes for the commercial lubricants, henna leaves, and boric acid, it was concluded that henna leaves are considered to be compatible fahmimoksen UTM 132 p.
