Abstract
A drilling fluid composition is provided herein. The drilling fluid composition comprises biorenewable components, such as a polymerized biorenewable oil and at least one of biodiesel and a nonpolymerized biorenewable oil. The drilling fluid composition is thus more environmentally friendly than conventional, petroleum-based alternatives. Water-based and oil-based drilling fluids comprising the drilling fluid composition are also provided as are methods of lubricating a borehole (e.g., a downhole well) utilizing the drilling fluid composition.
