Drilling fluids for deep and extended reach wells are complex multicomponent systems that contain dissolved salts, polymers, surfactants and coarse solids.
Complexity of drilling mud is caused by wide range of functions: creating pressure on the formation, retention of cuttings particles in suspension, bottomhole
cleaning and transportation of sludge on the surface, preservation of reservoir properties of the target formation and other. Tribological properties are one
of the most important properties of the drilling fluids. It is possible to control properties through introduction of lubricant additives. Their components are
characterized by high, sometimes unique, surface activity, they create superplastic nanofilms on the surface of the protective pipe, contribute to chemical modification
of the surface layers of metal.
