<p>ISO 10414-2:2011 provides standard procedures for determining the following characteristics of oil-based drilling fluids:</p>
<ul>
<li>drilling fluid density (mud weight);</li>
<li>viscosity and gel strength;</li>
<li>filtration;</li>
<li>oil, water and solids concentrations;</li>
<li>alkalinity, chloride concentration and calcium concentration;</li>
<li>electrical stability;</li>
<li>lime and calcium concentrations, calcium chloride and sodium chloride concentrations;</li>
