ABSTRACT:
A modular drilling mud system is described in terms of five different modules. A first module contains caustic, a natural wax and a natural thinner. A second module contains components of the first module and an alkali metal aluminate prepared by reacting the first module with aluminum metal. A third module contains the components of the first module and an alkali metal phosphate and/or alkali metal silicate. A fourth module contains the components of the first module, a saturated or unsaturated carboxylic acid source, a surfactant, and a preservative. The fifth module contains a combination of the first, third and fourth modules. The third, fourth and fifth modules can be used to effect various degrees of thinning and lubrication, and the second module can be used alone or in combination with another module to thicken the drilling mud.
