Successful oil and gas extraction is the end goal of any drilling operation, which involves planning, drilling, evaluating, and finishing a well. Since drilling fluids serve so many purposes in making this possible, it is critical that they be carefully designed. An experiment was conducted in the lab for this investigation. To improve the qualities of drilling mud and lessen the harmful effect of organic ash on the environment and human health, this study examines the behaviour and properties of drilling mud with the addition of different concentrations by weight of local organic ash. Rheological studies were conducted in the lab to approximate the developed drilling mud systems' physical and rheological qualities. Laboratory analyses confirmed that organic ash improved the drilling mud's characteristics. It was determined how well organic ash performed in comparison to barite in a mud system. The results suggest that the mud systems with organic ash performed well in terms of l, gel strength, density, and pH, but poorly in terms of controlling filtering loss.
