Abstract

Drilling fluids are stored in the ballast compartments of drilling vessels to reduce the dependency of a drilling operation on the supply of drilling fluids from work boats. The composition of the brine-based drilling fluid stored in the ballast compartment is designed to provide a biostatic environment and a density appropriate for the environment in which the well is to be drilled.
