Abstract: A lubricant composition having the non-water reaction products produced by a process having the step of reacting the following-three reactants in a condensation reaction: i) oleic acid, ii) triethanolamine, and iii) a polyol selected from the group consisting of pentaerythritol and trimethylolpropane.

Abstract: A drilling-fluid composition having an oil-based mud, water-based mud, or synthetic-based mud; and a fluid lubricant having a pour point ranging from ?5° C. to ?30° C., the fluid lubricant having a sulfurized fatty ester, a sulfurized olefin, or a combination thereof, wherein the sulfurized fatty ester is 5 to 15% by weight sulfur and selected from the group consisting of sulfurized biodiesel; sulfurized methyl oleate, and sulfurized methyl esters derived from vegetable oil, wherein the sulfurized olefin is 5 to 15% by weight sulfur and selected from the group consisting of sulfurized alpha or internal olefins ranging from C8 to C18; and the fluid lubricant being present in the composition in an amount ranging from 0.1 to 10% by weight.
