Drilling fluids are regarded as heavy, viscous fluid mixtures used in oil drilling operations for carrying rock cuttings to the surface and also for lubricating and cooling the drill bits. The drilling fluid, with the aid of hydrostatic pressure, prevents the collapse of hole.
Key Features & Benefits:- Mechanically removes drilled cuttings
- Minimizes risk of well control issues
- Supports the wall until the casing can be installed
- Minimizes damage to formation
- Cools and lubricates the drill bits
- Transmits hydraulic horsepower
Applications:- Freshwater systems
- Salt water systems
- Oil or synthetic based systems
- Pneumatic fluid systems
