Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a method of drilling a wellbore 8 in a formation 4. The method comprises introducing into said formation a drilling fluid which comprises graphite and activating the drilling fluid whereby to convert at least some of the graphite to graphene within fractures 22 in the formation. The graphene may be generated in-situ in the fractures. The graphite may be contained within a drilling fluid 16 and the drilling fluid exposed to energy 20 to convert at least some of the graphite into graphene.
