  • Drill cuttings are the rock, soil, sand, shale or other minerals bought to the surface during drilling.

There are also synthetic muds, which use synthetic oils that are environmentally safer (although these are also usually based on petroleum products). Oil based muds are an invert-emulsion system, with oil or synthetic oil forming the continuous phase and water or brine as the internal phase. Chemical agents are used to stabilize the emulsion, making subsequent recover ⁇ ' of the oil difficult. Oil and synthetic based muds are preferred when drilling into shale formations, because they do not swell clays, which would lead to shale instability.
