Drilling fluids and processes for making drilling fluids for use in environmentally sensitive areas are provided. The environmentally friendly drilling fluid includes a linear olefin portion that includes linear alpha olefins and/or linear internal olefins with carbon numbers of about 6 carbons to about 30 carbons; and an oligomer portion comprising dimers, trimers, tetramers, and/or heavier oligomers of olefins, wherein the olefins have a carbon number of between about 4 carbons and about 24 carbons, and the oligomer portion includes at least about 50 mole percent of trisubstituted olefin. The drilling fluid has a pour point of about &#x2212;10&#xb0; C. or lower, a biodegradation ratio of about 1.0 or less, a toxicity ratio of about 1.0 or less, a Marine Bodis of at least about 60%, a flash point of about 110&#xb0; C. or higher, a viscosity less than about 4 cSt at 40&#xb0; C., a density of about 0.78 to about 0.83 gram/ml, and a log Pow of greater than about 3.

Drilling fluid and process of making the same

The present invention relates to a low viscosity lubricant process, product, and composition characterized by low Noack volatility, low pour point, useful low temperature viscometrics, and high viscosity index and more particularly concerns a PAO composition having a kinetic viscosity at 100&#xb0; C. in the range of about 4 cSt.

Low viscosity oligomer oil product, process and composition

This invention relates to drilling fluids and processes for making drilling fluids, such as for use in environmentally sensitive areas. The environmentally friendly drilling fluid includes a first fluid component having between about 5 weight percent to about 95 weight percent of olefins with a chain length in a range of between about C12 and about C48. The first fluid component includes at least about 50 weight percent trisubstituted olefin functionality. The environmentally friendly drilling fluid includes a second fluid component.
