Abstract The importance of oil and gas production in the global economy cannot be over-emphasized thus one of the means to harness this global economy is by drilling and completions operations. However, to achieve successful drilling and completion oil well, a mixture of either polar or non-polar substances with oilfield chemicals referred to as additives will be added for optimum performance. Thus, additives are chosen based on the reservoir conditions. This paper aimed to evaluate the synergetic effect obtained when water-based drilling fluid were formulated using a mutual combination of calcium carbonate and solltex; calcium carbonate and activated charcoal and activated charcoal and soltex. Rheological properties were investigated at temperatures of (80oF – 150 oF) with the aid of Ofite Viscometer and were conducted under API specifications. The results obtained shows that a decrease in rheological properties with an increase in temperature was observed despite the number of different viscosifiers used in the formulation. The fluid loss was achieved with the aid of API Filter Press and was conducted under API specification. The better fluid loss was achieved with activated charcoal and soltex with 5.2 ml/s; followed by calcium carbonate and activated charcoal with fluid loss of 5.4 ml/s and lastly, Calcium carbonate and solltex had a fluid loss of 5.8 ml/s. Furthermore, the study was conducted to identify the chemical compound composition with the aid of X-ray diffraction and these results have shown the reason why a mutual combination of drilling fluid additives has similar fluid loss and rheological trends. Also, elemental compounds and oxide were established in calcium carbonate, activated charcoal, and soltex using X-ray fluorescence (XRF)
