- Functions
Drilling muds must fulfill the following functions:
* Extract cuttings and keep the bottom of the wellbore clean
* Cool the drilling tool
* Control formation pressures and wellbore stabilization
* Suspend cuttings
* Transmit hydraulic power to the tricone
* Help support the drill string
* Make it possible to add densifier agents
