Drilling lubricants are a type of lubricant used in the drilling process of oil and gas wells. They are designed to reduce friction and wear on the drill bit, drill string, and other components of the drilling system. They also help to reduce the amount of heat generated during the drilling process. Drilling lubricants are typically composed of a base oil, a thickener, and various additives. The base oil is usually a mineral oil, synthetic oil, or vegetable oil. The thickener is usually a soap or a polymer, and the additives can include corrosion inhibitors, anti-foaming agents, and biocides. Drilling lubricants are used in a variety of drilling operations, including rotary drilling, directional drilling, and horizontal drilling. They are also used in the completion of oil and gas wells. Some companies in the drilling lubricants market include Schlumberger, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, Weatherford International, and National Oilwell Varco. Show Less Read more
