The Circulation System: The Drilling Mud Market for Cuttings Transport and Wellbore Stability
If the drilling fluid stops circulating, drilling stops. The drilling mud market provides the viscosifiers, gellants, and other additives that give the mud the right flow properties. The mud must be viscous enough to suspend cuttings when circulation is stopped (to prevent them from settling and sticking the pipe), but not so viscous that it creates excessive friction pressure or is...
