Mud is generally synonymous with drilling fluid. It is used in the rotary drilling process to: clean the wellbore, carry out cuttings, exert hydrostatic pressure, cool, and lubricate the drill string and bit. Mud can lead directly or indirectly to most drilling problems. If the drilling fluid does not behave properly, it may lead to many serious well problems, including well abandonment. Meanwhile, the additives required to maintain the mud in good condition are quite costly. Mud engineers need to keep track of the usage of these additives.
