    To reduce the percentage of low gravity solids in a 2000 barrel circulating drilling mud system from 7% to the desired 3.5%, 4666.7 barrels of dilution water or base fluid needs to be added based on the calculations. Adding this amount of dilution fluid will lower the percentage of low gravity solids through dilution while maintaining the total volume of mud in circulation.
