Drilling Fluids Market (Wbf, Obf and Sbf) by Application (Onshore and Offshore) - North America Industry Analysis, Size Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2012 - 2019

Drilling Fluids Market (WBF, OBF and SBF) by Application (Onshore and Offshore) - North America Industry Analysis, Size Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2012 - 2019 Drilling fluids play an important role in the drilling process for bore wells, mineral extraction and oil and gas extraction. These fluids, also known as drilling mud are used to carry rock cuttings to the surface, and lubricate and cool the drill bits and also maintain stability of the well. In addition, drilling fluids also function as biocides and weighing agents, emulsifiers, defoamers, filtration reducers, shale inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, with specific additives. Drilling fluids are classified as OBF, WBF and SBF. These drilling fluids are used in water bore wells, in oil and gas extraction or metal and mineral extraction.
