FLUID INTELLIGENCE: KEY INSIGHTS INTO DRILLING FLUID COMPOSITION www.vertechs.com THE BASICS OF DRILLING FLUIDS 1 Drilling fluids, also known as drilling mud, play a crucial role in the process of drilling for oil and gas. These specialized fluids serve multiple purposes to facilitate efficient and safe drilling operations. TYPES OF DRILLING FLUIDS 2 The choice of drilling fluid depends on factors such as the geological formation, wellbore stability, and environmental considerations. Drilling Fluid types are Water-Based Mud (WBM), Oil-Based Mud (OBM), Synthetic-Based Mud (SBM). KEY PROPERTIES OF DRILLING FLUIDS Drilling fluids, or drilling muds, possess several key properties crucial for successful drilling operations. Density, Viscosity, Gel Strength, Solids Content, Temperature Stability. 4 DRILLING FLUID ADDITIVES Drilling fluid additives are essential components that enhance the performance and properties of drilling fluids, addressing specific challenges encountered during drilling operations. 5
