What is Drilling Fluid Engineering Basics about?

This document discusses drilling fluids used in oil and gas extraction. Drilling fluids, commonly called mud, are mixtures of water, clay and other materials that are pumped down a drill pipe to lubricate and cool the drill bit. The mud picks up cuttings from drilling and carries them up to the surface where solids can separate out in a tank before recycling the fluid. Clays in the mud help suspend cuttings due to negative charges on their sheets interacting with particles.
