Drilling fluid selection is critical in preventing major problems during drilling operations such as hole pack-off, stuck pipe, and loss circulation. Mud contamination occurs when the mud system is overtreated with additives or when foreign material enters the mud system during drilling operations, causing undesirable changes in the mud's properties. This results in the mud system is ineffective at performing its primary functions. This study looks at the effects of monovalent and divalent salts, specifically. the effects of potassium chloride, calcium chloride, and magnesium chloride on the rheological properties of a water- based mud system most prone to contamination.
