ABSTRACT:
Drilling fluids, drilling lubricants for such drilling fluids, and methods of drilling wells, particularly oil and/or gas wells using such drilling fluids. The inclusion of lubricants affords lubrication in drilling fluids in which the lubricant compatibility and/or performance may be adversely affected by other components of the drilling fluid, particularly divalent cations such as calcium, formate salts or highly alkaline components such as alkali silicate.
