Description

J.M. Neff, S. McKelvie, & R.C. Ayers, Jr.. Synthetic based drilling fluids (SBF) are a relatively new class of drilling muds that are particularly useful for deepwater & deviated hole drilling. They were developed to combine the technical advantages of oil based drilling fluids (OBF) with the low persistence & toxicity of water based drilling fluids (WBF). Chapters: introduction; background: offshore drilling, & drilling fluids; characteristics of synthetic based fluids; fate of synthetic based drilling fluids in the marine environment; bioavailability & toxicity of SBF cuttings; biological impacts of SBF cuttings discharges; & discussion: ecological risk assessment. References. Annotated bibliography: synthetic based drilling muds. Extensive charts & tables
