    Abstract: Described is a method for assessing quality of an amine-based shale inhibitor in drilling fluid. A relationship between a concentration of the amine-based shale inhibitor in a drilling fluid and turbidity is established by preparing drilling fluid solutions with varying concentrations of the amine-based shale inhibitor, allowing the drilling fluid solutions to form precipitates, and analyzing turbidity of the drilling fluid solutions. A sample of a drilling fluid with an unknown concentration of amine-based shale inhibitor is obtained. Using the established relationship, a concentration of the amine-based shale inhibitor in the sample of the drilling fluid is estimated.
