Drilling Fluid

Drilling Fluid also known as mud is a sticky mixture of various solid materials with liquid. While drilling, the drilling fluid is continuously circulated in a close loop from the rig's mud system through the drill string, annulus, and back to the mud system. It performs various important functions and a properly designed mud system greatly contributes to the success of the drilling process.
