<p>A method of mixing drilling fluids at a drill site includes the transportation of sealed silo assemblies (30) that can contain dry products in bulk to the well drilling site. The dry products are maintained within the silo assemblies (30) in a dry and pressurized condition. The dry product is discharged from the sealed silo assemblies (30) and into a mixer (11) at the well drilling site wherein the mixer (11) is maintained in a sealed environment until mixing is completed. The mixer (11) combines the dry product with a liquid at the well site. The dry product is maintained within the silo assemblies (30) in a pressurized condition to discourage the entry of moisture or gasses having high moisture content.</p> |
