Mud is pumped down the drill pipe, and it flows through the bit, then up the annulus between the drill pipe and formation. Since mud carries rock fragments and possibly contains gas, it must be processed before being pumped down the drill pipe. Also, there may be some losses, so a make up supply of mud must always be available.
