    Drilling fluids, also known as drilling muds, are suspensions of solids and liquids that are pumped downhole during drilling operations. The majority of drilling fluids have solids suspended in a liquid and are made up of viscosifiers, filtrate reducers, drill solids, and weighting materials to control physical properties like density, viscosity, and chemical characteristics like pH. Drilling fluids are essential for lubricating and cooling the drill bit, carrying cuttings up from the wellbore, and maintaining well control by preventing fluid from flowing into the formation.
