CONT

The panel has some concern about the possible use of diesel oil as a spotting fluid in water-based drilling muds. A diesel-oil spotting fluid is sometimes used to free differentially stuck drill collars. This use could result in several cubic meters of diesel oil being discharged to the sea along with water-based mud discharges.
