Drilling mud is important for a num- ber of reasons, e.g. stabilizes wellbore walls, prevents uncontrollable inflow of reservoir fluid and consequently eruption, removes cuttings, lubricates and cools down the drill el- ements. It can be also used for driving the bit, analogous to the downhole drives. Changes of the mud pressure can be used for sending information. Drilling muds are frequently com- posed of many constituents to provide specific physical and chemical properties, adjusted to definite wellbore conditions. Frequently the composition is not revealed by the producer and remains confidential [1]. The basic criterium classifying drilling muds is its base, i.e. liquid phase [2, 3]. Water- and oil-based muds dominate in oil industry. The former can be easily prepared and maintained therefore they are most commonly used. They can be adjusted to definite wellbore conditions. Much more expensive are oil-based
