What is it about?
Persea americana is the Avocado pear, it is a biomaterial fluid loss control additive for oil-based mud, is very effective in minimizing the filtrate loss into the rock. It prevents the reservoir from being damaged. This is also highly environmentally friendly. In terms of effectiveness, it is highly comparable to the existing ones. If consumes as fruits, its filtration in human body during the circulation of blood is the mirror image and the same type of function in the circulation of the drilling fluid during drilling operations.

Why is it important?
It is environmentally friendly biodegradable, very effective as an oil-based fluid loss control. It also gave a thin impermeable mud cake.
Perspectives
A good and environmentally friendly additive is very important especially in the offshore drilling operations, for the survival of the aquatic animals and plants. Its plantation is highly commendable, also in the areas of human consumption for the filtration of blood. This thinning of blood therefore minimizes the high blood pressure.
