Inhibited drilling fluids are mainly used to prevent shale swelling during drilling operations. These drilling muds can be either oil-based or water-based.
The most effective way to prevent shale swelling is using oil-based-mud (OBM), but water based muds (WBM) can also be used if such inhibitors like KCl, etc are added to the drilling fluid.

Fluid flow in an annular space?
Fluid flow in an annular space occurs during a drilling operation of the gas and oil well. The correct prediction of the flow lies in the drilling mud in the annular space between the well.

Hydrodynamics are the study of fluids in motion.
Classification of cutting fluid with example?
Cutting oils Emulsifiable oils Chemical cutting fluids
Can you use victaulic coupling on natural gas?
No, many fluids and air. No approval for natural gas.
What is process pipework?
it is any type of piping that carries fluids or gases to effect processes on machinery or equipment

What are the uses of mica in oil refineries?
Mica is an additive for drilling fluids.
Is drilling mud a chemical?
Yes, it is. Drilling fluids, the circulating fluid for drilling operations, is a mixture of the fluid, the solid and chemical agents. It is usually known as the "mud" or the "blood of drilling" deriving from its distinctive significance.
Why use drilling mud for oil drilling?
It's used to prevent anything coming back up the hole. Drilling fluids, the circulating fluid for drilling operations, is a mixture of the fluid, the solid and chemical agents. It is usually known as the "mud" or the "blood of drilling" deriving from its distinctive significance. The main functions of drilling fluids include providing hydrostatic pressure to prevent formation fluids from entering into the well bore, keeping the drill bit cool and clean during drilling, carrying out drill cuttings, and suspending the drill cuttings while drilling is paused and when the drilling assembly is brought in and out of the hole. The drilling fluid used for a particular job is selected to avoid formation damage and to limit corrosion.
What are the work of mudman on rig?
keeping drilling fluids at the right versolity, and keeping your workers working

Function of circulating mud system?
Drilling fluids circulating mud system is an important and obligatory constituent part in the modern drilling equipment, it can keep the mud normal circle and stable performance in drilling process, ensure drilling works on the premise of safety, environmental protection and high efficiency.
What can be made from cesium and francium?

What is the function of drilling mud fluid?
THE DRILLING MUD FLUID IS HAVE MANY FUNCTION IN OIL WELL DRILLING LIKE (a) to lift the cutting, (b) to give cooling effect of bit (c) control the wellbore pressure (d) act as a lubricater (e) hole stabilizer etc. The main functions of drilling fluids include providing hydrostatic pressure to prevent formation fluids from entering into the well bore, keeping the drill bit cool and clean during drilling, carrying out drill cuttings, and suspending the drill cuttings while drilling is paused and when the drilling assembly is brought in and out of the hole. The drilling fluid used for a particular job is selected to avoid formation damage and to limit corrosion.
What are the Processes in oil well drilling?
The drilling of crude oil wells both on and off-shore uses the laying of pipes and drill bits. A modern method of drilling is hydraulic fracturing, or fracking which uses fluids to break up natural gas formations.
