In general, OBM are drilling fluids which have oil as their dominant or continuous phase. A typical OBM has the following composition: Clays and sand about 3%, Salt about 4%, Barite 9%, Water 30%, Oil 50-80%. OBM have a whole lot of advantages over the conventional WBM. This is due to the various desirable rheological properties that oils exhibit.
