Dilution of Mud System with Base Fluid

Dilution of the mud system with base fluid in drilling fluids involves adding liquid to reduce the concentration of solids in a given volume.

This process helps maintain the desired properties of the drilling fluid while managing the impact of incorporated drilled solids.
