Microorganisms square measure thought of to have an effect on the properties of drilling fluids. This work self-addressed the subsequent sections: the character of Micro-organisms, microbic Mechanisms that have an effect on Drilling Fluids, Implications of microbic Contamination and Identification. This work focuses on the likelihood of utilization of microbes as basic material for lubricant. This analysis assess by means that of straightforward however relevant laboratory, the properties of the microbes cultivated from banana skin within the micro-biological laboratory and compared with commonplace drilling fluid. The results were analyzed exploitation applied mathematics and graphical ways. Water based drilling muds were developed with the microbes and characterised to work out the properties like density, rheology and pH within the laboratory and compared with those of the standard laboratory mud. Results showed enhancements in sure properties, but it verified unsuitable in different properties in comparison to straightforward drilling fluid.
