Drilling fluids, also called drilling mud, are used to lubricate and cool the drill bit and to carry cuttings up to the surface. The type of drilling fluid used depends on the type of drilling being done. For example, water-based muds are used for drilling in fresh water, while oil-based muds are used for drilling in salt water. There are also special drilling fluids that are used for drilling through sensitive formations, such as shale.
